it certainly doesn't make it "the Oxford Medical Revue" either
News corporations make money by sensationalising things.. thats how it works. The telling thing is that he'll do a promotional "study" on MSNBC, or testing at the sympathetic "Soul Science research centre" but not a real scientific organisation.. or shock horror a skeptical one.. If I had psychic powers the first thing i would do would be to crush Randi and humiliate him into giving me the prize.. but then.. if i thought i had "psychic" powers i'd be either delusional or a fraud who would lose my income by being proved a charlatan by him.
