BADGE BADGE
"This morning BBC Breakfast featured a "debate" on homeopathy that really does fall far short of the quality I expect of the BBC. It was obvious that the Daily Telegraph journalist who was positioned against the homeopathy evangelist did not have much knowledge of the subject matter at all, and allowed many of the unsubstantiated claims that were made were allowed to get past without rebuttal.

Given that homeopathy is often pitched as a replacement for conventional medicines, surely it would have been far more appropriate for someone qualified in medicine to appear and discuss the issue? As it was, I feel the lack of an appropriate rebuttal to the homeopath's claims meant the whole feature came off very pro-homeopathy indeed, and may convince uninformed viewers to risk their wellbeing on completely unproven alternative therapies that have been incorrectly portrayed as scientifically valid."

I'm unreasonably angry about this, I must be getting old and middle class.

I think there's a market for bottled violence.
It could be the alcohol-free equivalent to Stella.

There's a name for alternative medicine that works.
It's 'medicine'.

I might wander over to the Badscience forums and raise a strop about this.

Someone's beaten me to it, there's a fair amount of people saying 'I have complained about this'.
