weird news at Channel 7

[rac]

Is Channel 7's news on a new-age kick?

A few days ago they ran a story on a guy who had a neo-pagan ritual done 
in his house in Salem (it figures) to get rid of the bad vibes there.

Now they're running promos for a piece about psychic healer children 
with indigo-colored auras.

Since an unusual (but no doubt well-meaning) spiritual group
   http://www.emissaryoflight.com/
produced and is promoting a movie about these kids and their reported 
abilities
   http://www.indigothemovie.com/
I have to wonder if Channel 7 is giving a platform to somebody's fringy 
quasi-mystical claims.   Does this really deserve to be treated as 
serious news?

The movement's web site, incidentally, includes a course
   http://www.emissaryoflight.com/OnlineCourses.aspx?t_s=20#5
on how to bend spoons with your mind.    Interesting!

Anyway, is this sort of news coverage supposed to appeal to the extra 
viewers they gained from airing the Winter Games?

Puzzled,
