As long as someone mentioned The Skeptical Inquirer,  I would recommend
that people look into some of the back issues of that journal for a more
balanced presentation of some of the material in the recent NOVA program.
In particular, the remote viewing experiments that were presented so positively
have been very carefully criticised.  The findings of PSI experimenters to date
has yet to provide convincing evidence, biased presentations such as the recent
NOVA program do no service to either the supporters of PSI or the critics.  If
there is something to PSI it will be found only when the mechanisms for self
delusion are clearly understood and eliminated from the studies.
