Panorama: BBC exposed DVD

All gone!

Now, can't really compare Ron L. Hubbard to Fra Dolcino can we?

You take it too serious

Triker

Are you a scientologist?

newlifenewsong

Erm..no.... Why?
It seems a fairly straightfoward Journo attack on one another to me. The scientologist question is just there to give it more coverage as far as I can tell.
Or am I being really naive?

The DVD was made by the "church" of scientology to try and counter attack the panorama documentary about them. They hate any media interest unless it portrays them as being wonderful. Search round the internet for loads of information.

Yes, took me some time to notice.
At first I read it as Panorama exposing some sort of BBC documentary; I don't have a TV so had no idea Panoram was a BBC thing...

Anyway, will remove it if it offends anyone, but it might be interesting for those doing a degree related to the media?

After watching the BBC version i think i would have more faith in them than the "church" of scientology version of events

Yup, thought it was a Panorama documentary on the BBC coverage of some sort of scientology report.
