Many thanks to gpm and Dana Ullman for alerting us to this. I just mailed Dana promising my financial support for his efforts as well as support for any forthcoming lawsuit, boycott of ABC, its parent Disney Company, the program's sponsors, etc. I also asked that he keep us abreast of any such efforts via this BB.
In addition to protesting to ABC, I also suggest that we send protest letters to the FCC after ABC airs this libel. We, the public, are the putative owners of our public airwaves.
Libel is illegal and subject to actual and punitive damages in a courtroom. See
http://injury-law.freeadvice.com/libel_and_slander/ for a brief overview of who can sue the perpetrators. I would hope that all homeopathic practitioners, NASH, AIH and CHC members join together to pursue legal remedies for financial damages.
There can no longer be any doubt that attacking and discrediting homeopathy and its practitioners is now the number one priority of the quackbuster shills and their financial backers. The members of the homeopathic community, being gentle souls at heart, have been supine too long. It's time we got together and kicked some ass.
