Astrological Blog Article Calls for Fair Press Coverage of Russian Astrologers Lawsuit

Not all astrologers agree with the Ruassian Astrologer's lawsuit against NASA

(PRWEB) July 8, 2005 -- While monitoring keywords for astrological news this week, Canadian astrologer, horoscope writer and blogger Brandi Jasmine noticed a huge number of stories featuring the bizarre claim of Marina Bei, a Russian astrologer, who is convinced that the recent Deep Space" space shot has "ruined the natural balance of the forces of the universe." The Russian courts have allowed her to proceed with a lawsuit against NASA, provoking a predictable media circus replete with the obligatory snide, cynical and dismissive comments about astrology that are unfortunately commonplace in the press.

I cannot judge Beis merit as an astrologer," Jasmine says in her blog article at http://astrologyca.blogspot.com/. I have never heard of her before now. She is entitled to her beliefs. But considering her assertions and this bizarre lawsuit, I dont want her to be the sole voice to speak for me, or for the astrological community at large."

In her blog article, Jasmine calls on the press to make an effort to be unbiased and impartial in news stories on this subject. Leave the opinion pieces to the editorialists and columnists. Get in touch with the local astrological society to get their comments and feedback on the story. Learn what mainstream astrologers actually believe before reporting on their beliefs. If you are going to quote the local skeptic, get in touch with a credible, experienced local astrologer with a different point of view, and give them a chance to speak. Please dont leave the public with the impression that the astrological community supports this lawsuit or the beliefs behind it.
