So did TV3 do the right thing, and resist a crown entity's bullying over a peripheral issue? Or do the BSA's decisions indicate there was something badly wrong with the story?
The latter, I think, based on how badly science is covered, by and large, in the media. Looking forward to your show.

Bridget, it was a biotoxin. Not rat poison, dropped by DOC, as people were so quick to assume.

PS Credit to Danyl of the DimPost for the above.

How many books and magazines does the man actually sell?
Too many ..
Last time time I looked, Air Con had been displaced off the nonfiction bestseller list by the crockpot cookbooks and psychic memoirs. Heh.

Would it have been that difficult to just say "There is an disciplinary process in train, and it wouldn't be appropriate to comment further"?
Totally agree, Craig. I wasn't trying to excuse them.

And back to Wishart again.
I would have thought Wishart was skating on very thin ice in suing Gareth Renowden for defamation. I followed Wishart's response to Gareth's review of Air Con quite closely, and Wishart's responses were far more vindictively personal and defamatory than anything in the original review. He didn't so much throw his toys as launch them into orbit where they are now geostationary.
Just as Russell said, it's a bullying tactic. -
Nor do the players or the spectators, or presumably the ref, come out of this with much credit.

The saying about wrestling with pigs comes to mind here.
