John Edward - crossing over reality
Kudos to Lisa de Moraes of the Washington Post for drawing the public's
attention to one of the most distasteful uses of pseudoscience ever to
appear on television news.
We've previously commented on the Fox News Channel's use of psychics during
the Chandra Levy furor to locate the missing intern. (see "Psychic-ed Out
Chandra Coverage," in the August VitalSTATS.) In the same vein, De Moraes
revealed that Studios USA had taped segments in which self-styled medium
John Edward "purports to contact victims of the World Trade Center
attacks." ("Medium Crosses the Line, WTC segment canned," Oct.26)
