As Dana Ullman and others warned pre-airing, this was obviously an orchestrated smear job. Any student of Journalism 101, much less a network "investigative reporter,", would have asked several obvious questions:
1. Who put up the purported $1 million prize that Randi is offering?
2. Why should anyone believe that a "test" devised by a magician whose stock-in-trade is sleight of hand would be on the level?
3. What credentials does the smarmy Randi have, i.e., knowledge of homeopathic principles, history, cases, material medica, etc., to portray him, a magician, as one qualified to critique any system of medicine?
