I have two comments in response: <BR/><BR/>1) I was not the producer of the "Bipolar Child" show; that program was produced by The Infinite Mind's executive producer at the time, June Peoples. <BR/><BR/>2) NPR's On The Media just retracted and apologized for its story stating that The Infinite Mind and I were aware of Fred Goodwin's fees for speaking on behalf of GlaxoSmithKline. As reported in Current, the newspaper of public broadcasting: <BR/><BR/>On The Media issues apology, correction on "Infinite Mind" show<BR/><BR/>On the Media has apologized for, and corrected, what it called a "lapse in journalistic judgment" concerning a November 2008 story on the public radio show The Infinite Mind. Dr. Fred Goodwin, the show's host, had stirred controversy when The New York Times reported that he had accepted more than a million dollars in speaking fees from drug companies and talked about their brand-name drugs on the show. The Infinite Mind producer Bill Lichtenstein had previously denied, in statements on his production company's website, knowledge of Goodwin's links to pharmaceutical firms. Host Brooke Gladstone said on March 22's OTM that an anonymous source used on the show turned out to have "no first-hand evidence that (Lichtenstein) knew of any fees." Gladstone admitted that OTM was wrong to not contact Lichtenstein for his comments. She said that was "a mistake, it wasn't fair and it didn't serve our listeners." The Infinite Mind ran for 10 years, ceasing production at the end of 2008. It was distributed to public radio stations and ran on NPR's Sirius Satellite channel.<BR/>-------------<BR/>You can see the article at http://www.current.org/2009/03/otm-issues-apology-correction-on.html<BR/><BR/>- BLBill Lichtensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419354621968533682noreply@blogger.com
