Well I think the 'earpiecegate' scandal has been a really amusing incident.
Of course it's anecdotal and proves nothing (so far) but Sally Morgan's made an absolute pig's ear of handling the situation.
I wonder how her career will advance now?
Not that it matters, if she's deposed as Britain's 'most loved psychic' there'll be anotherbusiness person psychic ready to take her place and a credulous audience ready and willing to lap it all up.

Now now Umbongo. Just because she has been accused of cheating by a couple of women who state that they quite clearly heard a softly spoken
None of this means that Sally is not worthy of her title. None of this proves that she can't communicate with the departed. Shame on you!
Umberto Cocopop
Sally's never proved that she can communicate with the dead.
This incident doesn't prove that she was cheating (the evidence is insufficient) but the default position isn't that therefore she's genuine until proven otherwise. Remember, critical thinkers don't use the Argument to Ignorance fallacy when considering claims.
I've seen you on SL being very 'skeptical' regarding the claims of cheating. Now only if you could apply the same level of skepticism to her claims of being a medium.

I like it when you go all serious on me Bongo..it excites me!
I don't care much for Sally and the rest of the 'entertainers'. I have no problem with these people writing books about the subject to make a few quid but I can't be doing with all this stage crap and flashy websites. Sally is on at our local venue in a few weeks but I wouldn't pay money to see her. I personally would expect to find a genuine medium from word of mouth. Their reputation should speak for itself, no flashy website, no advertising, no crap and no need to have your details beforehand or at all. You can't rule out cold reading, I know that but then it's down to the individual if they accept the communication or they decide that the medium is a damn convincing con.
I don't think Sally will come any worse off for this and she is getting publicity (just in time for new book lol)

What's needed is a transcript of the live radio show recording which started all this.
Makes me laugh how all the "usual suspects" (the skeptics) who normally place such store on examining and analyzing transcripts and recordings .... the very ones who in this case choose to ignore or gloss over the 'detail', the source of the matter ... are now "quoting" from hearsay and articles published in the press etc (or themselves penning such articles), and as it gets passed along the line more stuff is added on or subtracted to enhance their own agendas. Soooo hypocritical.
I would have thought, if this libel case is indeed to be taken seriously, the essential ingredient before it could even get off the ground would be a properly transcribed paper version of the radio show recording to work from. Perhaps, behind the scenes, they may just be working on that. Who knows ...

"Come up and see me - and talk serious to me"
If, and for me it's a huge if, mediumship is ever shown to be real then I'm pretty certain it won't be because of celeb mediums and their act. SM, and those like her, are business people, not psychics.
But I have also noticed that on many forums that 'skeptics' very quickly jumped on this as if it's proof that SM has been cheating by having info fed to her. It just goes to show that these skeptics are just as quick to accept something they want to be true as many believers are.
Yes, the allegation is plausible, but it's not proven.
I actually can't see the point of someone feeding a psychic with "David, pain in the back, died quickly" (or whatever it was) when it's incredibly easy to make that sort of thing up anyway (as indeed they do). If info was being relayed, wouldn't it have been a bit more substantial?
Anyway, all good fun.
I'm sure there'll be die hard fans who'll always believe no matter what but if her popularity wanes a bit, perhaps the TV bosses might think it's time for a new face.
And notice how I've resisted the quip about her not seeing this coming?

Precisely! That's the very point I've just been making in my post - (we cross-posted there).

It also appears a bit odd to me that when the first woman who phoned into the radio show making the claim said she hoped that someone else who was also a witness would phone in to corroborate her story, that this other person just happened to be listening to the radio programme at the same time and actually phoned in - or was it 2 or 3 others? (I haven't followed it up enough to know)
It all seems a bit dodgy to me - but, you should never conclude anything from insufficient data.

Sue said twice that she 'hoped someone will ring in and back my story'
This is from one of my posts on S/L, I thought the same thing Bongo.
What annoys me is that this is an accusation of cheating. The whole thing is a farce. Even if is proved that Sally cheated via the ear piece, it doesn't prove that she can't communicate with the dead. Yes, it creates doubt etc but this accusation of cheating has kicked off the whole 'She is cheating, she is a fake, they all are fake, there is no afterlife' mentality.
But this is always going to be the problem with these celeb mediums who work in this way. I think that once a medium goes down that particular road, they may as well just be in it for the money as any credibilty will take second place to popularity. Popularity means that you have to be seen to deliver the goods. That and the bills on a mansion must be massive!
Comforting the grieving shouldn't come with a high price tag in my opinion. The reality of it though is that it does. Death is an expensive business, my brothers and I have just found that out as the bills for mums funeral have come in. In death, mum was treated with respect and dignity. The undertakers did their job and delivered what they promised to. Where is the respect or dignity for the deceased and their families who pay money to see mediums who can't deliver the goods? This isn't aimed at Sally in particular. It is for those who have been exposed as cheating. Even if they have genuine abilities, they have cheated at some point and given false hope or comfort to those who are grieving. Where is the respect for the dead in that?
I'm all for exposing the cheats but the evidence has got to be better than this or it starts to resemble some kind of witchhunt. As it is, if there is a conspiracy within the Sally camp, then they really need to tidy thier acts up because they are crap at it.

I could appear to levitate on stage! But what if someone caught me out attaching a hidden wire to my belt to lift me up - it could be argued that cheating in this manner doesn't prove I can't actually levitate; but it's not much of an argument is it?
We should actually all have this mentality to begin with!Pixie wrote:Yes, it creates doubt etc but this accusation of cheating has kicked off the whole 'She is cheating, she is a fake, they all are fake, there is no afterlife' mentality.
Remember, Sally Morgan has never actually proved that she has psychic ability - so it would be very foolish to accept that she has it unless someone proves otherwise.
This allegation should be treated in exactly the same way that her 'ability' should - assume it's false unless it can be proven to be true.

Details on the 'test' by the end of the week.
I wonder whether it will be pitched as some sort of preliminary test for the JREF $1,000,000 prize?
Knowing skeptics, I expect it will.
Just because this approach has never worked in the past, that's no excuse to give the dead horse another bloody good flogging!
Surprisingly, I agree with that Donnis bloke - who ever he is.....
It will create publicity, it will please the skeptics as they're always pleased to get publicity, but it will have no impact whatsoever on belief. Even if Sally's career gets destroyed, it will just be an opportunity for someone else to fill the gap and exactly the same believers who handed their cash over to Sally will be handing it over just as willingly to her replacement.

Yes of course that is the intention. Yer man Simon Singh grabs the opportunity here to drop in the usual MDC shpiel. LOL! He even refers to the Magic Man as being a scientist! Just listen to the podcast, Umbo - ... erm ... that's if you're not doing anything else (I know you can only manage one thing at a time) bless ....
Simon Singh phones into Joe Duffy's RTE Radio programme and airs his questions for Sally Morgan. He also discusses Peter Popoff, Derren Brown, Joe Power and other stuff ... Oh yeah ... he mentions Brian Dowling as well

Here we go: Sally Morgan challenged
Yes, if she passes the test she can go for the JREF $1,000,000. Either I'm psychic or this was completely predictable.
My predictions are:
As usual, it's just skeptics doing things from their own perspective and expecting others to 'get' their point of view. If you want to influence people you have to understand things from their point of view and disseminate information etc. in a way that is meaningful to them.
It would be interesting to see what believers in general make of this test challenge.

Test looks ok to me. Can't see any problem with it, oh except of course that Sally Morgan whatever her excuses may be will not take up the offer.
I predict that because I'm psychic.

The test they've come up with looks sound (although it's been designed without Sally's input) but I doubt whether anyone really understands it if they don't already know about this type of testing and why it's done the way it is.

What good will it do her to take a test which is organised by skeps and backed by the Amazing Randi? I wouldn't take it either. She will fail, whether she is psychic or not. How many non-believers will make a judgement on her if it's a no show which I expect it will be? She didn't take the test therefore she must be a fake?
Waste of time. I'm getting bored with the story now.
Umberto Cocopop
Well this highlights an important problem with this type of thing.Pixie wrote:What good will it do her to take a test which is organised by skeps and backed by the Amazing Randi? I wouldn't take it either.
When people assess information/propaganda/persuasion/etc. one of the first things they do is what's known as "source validation". They look to see whether the source of the information is credible (to them) and if it's not, they won't take it seriously.
I once said that we ought to stop using the label "skeptics" if we're aiming to be educational in nature. Very few agreed but I was saying it because of this very problem. And it's not a trivial one - it is a major problem for those attempting to engage with others with different beliefs.
Well, the truth is that the actual design of this test would mean that it would be very unlikely that anyone could pass it through chance guessing, but if they genuinely did have mediumistic ability then passing would be much more likely.Pixie wrote:She will fail, whether she is psychic or not.
But here's another problem. How many people in the intended target audience (believers in psychics) actually understand the rationale and methodology of this type of test?
Very few, if any, would be my guess. So why hasn't the rationale and test procedure been published and explained? Without this clarification, it's far too easy for people to simply say that the test is "designed for her to fail".
Non-believers, correctly, take the stance that psychic claimants do not have genuine ability unless they can prove they do so a no-show for the test will just confirm their conclusion. What would be interesting is the non-believers' reaction if Sally turned up and passed!Pixie wrote:How many non-believers will make a judgement on her if it's a no show which I expect it will be? She didn't take the test therefore she must be a fake?
OTOH, believers, incorrectly, tend to take the stance that psychic claimants do have genuine ability unless it's proved they don't. A no-show for the test will not therefore affect their stance on the issue.

Breaking news from the Merseyside Skeptics (on Twitter):
Right, so skeptics again come up with a stupid idea that achieves absolutely nothing and when it doesn't work, they turn it into an annual event.
It's not clear whether Sally will be challenged annually to not turn up or whether they'll challenge other psychics to not turn up each year.
I suspect that not a great deal of thought has gone into this. It's a bit like going train spotting during a rail strike!
"Sad to say that Sally didn't come along, but the challenge remains open
to her. Our challenge will be an annual affair though. Details soon"

Just read that link. Yes, I agree with what the blogger is saying ... but in the same breath, something is bothering me. I may be totally off course here, but in the back of my mind I seem to have a vague memory of something very similar to this occurring a few years back ... where a member of one or two skeptic forums (I was reading about it on one of the forums at the time it was happening) ... this member had disclosed personal details about a psychic or alleged 'woo' that they had been pursuing, causing great distress to that person. The skeptic was coming back there and posting threats and innuendos against this person - clearly hoping for backing by her fellow forum members and trying to justify her actions. I remember at the time feeling almost sick to my stomach over this horrid carryon. As I have said, my memory may well be playing tricks on me - my brain may be lying to me (lol), but in my recollection , the culprit there was none other than the author and blogger in that link above(?). No doubt, I will be corrected if someone in the know can say differently (?)

Unless it was on UKS, I wouldn't know.
Skepticism, to me, has taken several steps backwards in the last few years. There's little or no thought going into anything - all they're doing in copying what Randi has done in the past (silly stunts, pointless challenges, etc.)
However, although I don't really know Hayley at all, I find her to be a breath of fresh air when it comes to 'grass-roots skepticism'. I've seen her comment on a few things and she's quite prepared to look at what skeptics are doing and question and criticise it as well as doing the same for other ideas.
I'm sure she'll have made mistakes in the past but overall, skepticism would be in a better state if a few more of them were like Hayley.
There's too much group mentality in skepticism. If you don't toe-the-line then you're not 'one of us'; but their myopic, egocentric view of how to do things is not good. Things like unquestioning support for whatever they do is not what skepticism should be about - they need more people like Hayley but don't realise it.

I keep reading her blog etc. She's obviously an intelligent young lady and very passionate about her views on life, especially the paranormal. I read the above blog post and all the comments. It shows immaturity imo. While I agree that it's not on for people to make abusive posts, I think Hayley is showing a side to herself that is a far cry from any 'friendly skeptic'. If you put your opinions into the public domain via blogs, podcasts or whatever else, you have to accept that not everybody will agree with everything that you say but seemingly she is only interested in the opinions of people who do agree with her, everybody else can go f off? She's become a little bit too full of her own self-importance which I don't care for. From what I am seeing, she is not as 'up for debate' as she would have us believe. I would guess that KK is right but that's going by what I have read.
I am Pixie now feck off before I pop a cap in your ass:lol!:

This whole story seems to have died a death. Did Sally Morgan sue anyone?

I don't think that was ever the idea. The legal team was brought in basically to silence her critics. Maybe that's worked.

The post you're talking about (and can't find) was on UK'S. Have you gone through your posts kk? That may be the best way to find it as I remember your response to it.
