I watched some of John Campbells pieces on power lines and cancer over the last couple of days. Not too much of them, as I find the attitude of those who don't know the difference between ionising radiation and electromagnetic fields, but are sure that they both cause cancer, rather irritating.
I will make the point however, that while power lines *might* have a rare health impact, not having electricity to warm our homes and refrigerate our food *will* have a real and immediate health impact!

I agree, Rich. It's very frustrating to be a rational, scientific person watching TV these days. There are a lot of programs now (such as "Ghost Hunt", "Medium", Jeanette Wilson's "Dare to Believe" and others) which reject rationality in favour of concentrated bullshit.
These shows are not so much "professionally produced" as they are "shat onto my TV screen".
As you've noted, even the news and "reputable" current affairs shows are affected. I've noticed that the stupid ignorant bitch reporter Melanie Reid seems to be behind a lot of the pseudo-scientific and anti-scientific reporting on TV3. If she's not wailing about power lines, she's talking to ghosts or doing something equally stupid.
Grr.
I heard Mel Reids mum is sick and Jeanette is "healing" her... could explain a few things...
