And what do you know.. 2 passages from the Mail's account that didn't get a mention on the BBC's version (which was the second most read news item yesterday)
"The results were not a total failure for the psychics. The one positive result managed by Miss Whitton was however awarded an eight out of ten for accuracy by the sitter.
In his Guardian column, Professor French reported the sitter as saying: 'She mentioned very specifically something I had been actively thinking about during the session, she hit it right on the dot, name and everything. That shocked me a bit.
'Also, the South America comment struck me – I'm planning a trip there.' "
and
"Subsequent to the this article's initial publication Ms Whitton contacted MailOnline to complain that various outlets covering the story had failed to mention that one of her sitters was very surprised to receive an accurate reading during the experiment.
'Why do the skeptics and non-believers omit the very significant details I am trying to prove it seems one sided to me if they are only going to comment on their own disbeliefs without telling the true facts,' she said in an email."
