Judging from the following articles I think Transport 2000 is a serious organization.

Judging from the following articles I think Transport 2000 is a serious organization. The BBC does not publish articles about prank websites, does it?
The BBC publishes "Top Gear", which you could describe as a "prank" car program?

.... or do you think the articles quoted above by SteveR are typical of what you would expect to read from a "serious organisation"?

Let's just conclude this thing by saying that I have a hard time taking this organization seriously, based on the articles I read in some of the above links.
I have a hard time taking seriously the concept that - in a free society - an organization could seriously advocate "hi-jacking" an established TV show and it's front-man and turn it into a medium for projecting that organisation's propaganda.
The democratic way to do it would be to start another show promoting the other points of view. In fact, there are already plenty of shows doing just that. The fact that those shows do not have a popular following and do not "sell" well may be hard for their backers to take, but that's life.

Fritz, sometimes you do make sense. Are you getting wiser or am I dumbing down?
On this occasion, I simply forgot.
