This morning we're packed with slots on 'research' that is 'contradictory'. Oily fish, TV on kids...
Big surprise.
So long as there are 'news' programmes that have time to fill, and better yet with a 'debate' that 'your views are invited', we will continue to get these things carried out, press-released, covered and 'expert'-debated by the unholy alliance of those with a vested interest in keeping 'em coming.
And what, exactly, is the poor viewer (or in this case concerned parent) to make of it: don't pay attention to the thing we brought to your attention in the first place.
Nice one.
Meanwhile, the slot about health gets curtailed by a massive section on one of the presenters choosing her dress for the Oscars, which is apparently very stressful.
Plot. Lost. The.
