"Yogic flying" reported as news"I'm from Missouri you'll have to show me," has been a skeptic's refrain for generations.
But apparently the old saying may be dwindling in importance at one media outlet in America's heartland.
Missouri's KTVO TV ran a story about a "yogic flying" competition, without any apparent critical balance to create a meaningful context for this preposterous claim.
The so-called "yogic flyers," devotees of guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, actually just hop around.
But the station reported, "Players propelled themselves several feet through the air using only a higher level of consciousness."
Maybe this television station should say, "I'm from KTVO, do a show for me."
It seems the ABC affiliate is more concerned with sensationalism than substance.
But chalk up another successful self-promotional publicity stunt for the old guru.
