BBC Rules That Wi-Fi Radiation Findings Were
Wrong:"Stony Stevenson writes "A Panorama
programme claiming that Wi-Fi creates three times as
much radiation as mobile phone masts was
'misleading', an official BBC complaints ruling has
found. The team involved in the research came under
fire from the school where the 'investigations' were
held for scaremongering, but now the BBC has come out
with an official ruling. 'The programme included only
one contributor (Professor Repacholi) who disagreed
with Sir William, compared with three scientists and
a number of other speakers (one of whom was
introduced as a former cancer specialist) who
seconded his concerns.'"

Yes, I've said it before,
but now it seems the that BBC have finally
admitted that the Panorama report on wi-fi
health issues was just plain wrong. So I've just
to say, I told you so.
The kind of sad thing is that this happened at all, the BBC used to be a respected news provider and yes they still do good well researched reports (and it's still the first news page I visit) these sorts of badly researched reports really are doing the corporation harm.
Ho hum, I was right and they they where wrong, but it's a hollow victory.
