TONIGHT'S PANORAMA

If anybody wants to see a BBC journalist losing it big time with a member of the Church of Scientology, then it will be well worth your while watching Panorama tonight. I've seen the clip and it is, well, a little startling really.
Comments:
Quite incredible. There's footage here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxqR5NPhtLI

And Sweeney's response is here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6650545.stm
 
This just in - my boss has just received a letter and DVD from Graeme Wilson, Editor of Freedom TV. Although his publications is produced by the Church of Scientology, no mention of this is made.

Anyway, enclosed is Panorama Exposed a DVD which "reveals what really goes on behind the scenes in making a Panorama programme". Apparently it details 154 "would-be violations of the BBC and OfCom guidelines" in tonight's edition.

I might have a look ...
 
You have to feel a bit sorry for Sweeney. He was only doing his job, and these scientologists seem to have harangued and harrassed his family because of that. They seem to be trying to hang him out to dry - hopefully the BBC will take pay no heed to them.
