BBC Watchdog loses it
BBC Watchdog - the consumer programme - said tonight during a piece on con artists using a psychic front:
“…because of course there are genuine psychics out there.”
What?! Come on. Surely, even if you’re being kind, this is debatable. I thought Watchdog’s purpose was to help viewers avoid getting ripped off.

I have no words…

And I would say that any BBC program cannot, by definition, be helping viewers avoid being ripped off - after all, the existence of the very program means that they are being ripped off!

What a coincidence - I wonder if any of the psychics could have seen this coming… I sat and watched the program and I almost jumped out of my seat when the guy said “of course there are genuine psychics out there” - I generally stick with Sky and now I remember why!! What kind of advice is that to give on our forced-to-pay-tv-licence BBC!??!! Kind of makes you wonder about the quality of any other advice on that program!
