Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Another local station came by this afternoon and interviewed me about the Poling case and the impact on the autism community. They want me to come down to the station in the morning to do a more indepth interview. So now three local stations (NBC,ABC, Independant local) covered the story in N Florida and S Georgia. The girl who interviewed me said she called around for 3 hours and could not find a pediatrician who would come on to oppose my views, they will not touch this.... They are running scared... This is really, really, big... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
