Local news.
Our local TV station is running what amounts to free advertising for a "certified medium."
I want to post a neutral comment and invite her to take the million dollar challenge. Help with the wording would be appreciated. More info at News 12, Phoenix, AZ Thanks DDWW |

Could you provide a link to stories about this "certified" medium? I'd like to know what group certified her, and exactly what is claimed about her abilities.

Here's the link for you:
http://www.azcentral.com/12news/spec...008-CR-CP.html And the website for the "International Medium," whatever that is: http://www.goldenmiracles.com/about.html And the "foundation" that appears to have issued the certification: http://www.foreverfamilyfoundation.org/ |

It looks like this is a thinly-disguised cross promotion for NBC's show Medium. If we contact her about the MDC, Channel 12 will only use this for further promotion. Since they (as an NBC affiliate) have a vested interest, we will not get an unbiased story from them. I suggest not persuing this particular medium.

$350 an hour — not bad.
I made the mistake to click "How much do you charge for a reading?" in the Q&A section of this page: http://www.azcentral.com/12news/spec...008-CR-CP.html Check it out to hear the typical blah blah about the money (I didn't want it at first, but...) |
