Discovery Channel sells out

I’ve always liked Discovery Channel. Even though some of the shows are targeted war maniacs or chopper lovers, the programs are always about some part of our reality. It’s entertainment of course – but it isn’t fake. It isn’t a lie. Until now.

Discovery Channel Europe now airs “A Sense of Murder” produced by Danish Egmont. It’s a show about some proclaimed “psychics” that “helps” the police “solving” crimes. Well, they don’t, really, because they can’t. As their so called “powers” don’t exist they are just walking about making stuff up – but what matters is that the program does not question their abilities at all. (Sorry about all the quotes). One of the psychics on the show is in fact the ever present Marion Dampier-Jeans.

In one episode of “A Sense of Murder” a Danish police officer tells the interviewer that the information given to him by the psychics could mean that the case would be reopened. Now think of this: A gun carrying member of a European police force really thinks that this freak “sees” something? If I should ever commit a murder, I want that dummy to lead the investigation. While he’s busy looking in the crystal ball I’ll be getting out of the country.

I don’t know – maybe Dampier-Jeans and her fellow wackos really do think they see something. In that case I think they should consider getting some professional psychiatric help. Or – and I think this is the case – they are just lying to make some easy money and sadly Discovery Channel seems eager to help.

The channel originally devoted to science and reality has sold out. Shame on you, Discovery Channel.
