Henya, no need to look for sponsorship (the BBC has none, anyway).

I've heard the whole clip.

Morgan was silenced because she was not 'behaving' as she was
supposed to.  IMO, the facts about formula, and the social context of
formula,  are not 'allowed' in these 'debates' (ha!) because of two
reasons

i) all corporations, publically-owned, privately-owned whatever,
default to the support of big business

ii) many of the people who write the articles, publish the magazines,
produce the radio programmes, present the programmes, formula fed
their babies

Reason ii) goes back to our discussion on here a month or so ago -
the fact that formula feeding *changes* women and families,
psychodynamically.

When women do not breastfeed, particularly if the bottle feeding that
is done is done in a 'non-breastfeeding-like' way,   something
happens.  Then,  to protect themselves from this, they find
themselves denying that anything regrettable has happened....they may
even decide that what happened was good.

No one wants that carapace of denial removed - and they will fight
with scorn, or with a closed mic, in order to retain it.

I hope I am not reading too much into this when I say I actually feel
sorry for the producer who was so unpleasant to Morgan (off air) -
see M's blog for details.  What on earth has gone on in her head, in
her body, in her heart to make her like that?
