Glok has hit the nail squarely on the head, saying we should all be grateful for the publicity. It is a "given"(as they all say nowadays) that whenever you read in the papers about something you know about, you spot that they get all the facts wrong. So, given that, there is no point in getting too wound up if a journalistic account of the folk revival may generate some feelings along the "Listen to your man talking bollix" line.
   At the very least the programmes are generating interest, and this is currently reflected in the music press. So whether your taste runs to Harry Cox, the Waterson-Rusby family, Vashti Bunyan, Jim Moray or "twisted folk"(what the hell is that?)....let's count our lucky stars it got on the TV. Mind you, it wasn't on proper TV, it ws BBC4, so there's a way to go yet.
