Just a thought....

I recognise that programmes like "Watchdog" etc have done a lot of good in the past, shining a little light into dark corners. Accept that.

I also recognise that until we see the programme on Monday, we are all speaking from a position of conjecture.

BUT. What if, for argument's sake, the programme makes an accusation against Ryanair, of commercially damaging proportions, which turns out to be completely untrue? Is that situation that far-fetched, given that it is being made by lay people in the media?

Will MO'L get anything other than a 30s read statement in three months time, at the tail end of an unrelated programme, saying that "yeah, we're really sorry, it was all untrue. And if you lost your job because we frightened all your passengers away, we're really sorry about that too."

With power comes responsibility. Perhaps the programme makers should consider that.
