St. Petersburg Times reporter Tom Tobin to appear Thursday in Scientology investigation by ABC's Nightline
MiscavigeSPT St. Petersburg Times reporter Tom Tobin is expected to appear Thursday night in the first of two nights of reports on the Church of Scientology scheduled to air on ABC's late-night news magazine Nightline.
The show plans to explore much of the same ground the Times uncovered in its first three-part series on the Church published in June, The Truth Rundown, outlining tales of violence allegedly perpetrated against high-ranking church officials by leader David Miscavige.
According to a spokeswoman for the show, Nightline on Thursday will feature interviews with at least some of the sources featured in the Times' reporting -- former high-ranking Church officials coming forward to publicly reveal controversial stories about Scientology leadership in a way never seen before. The show also features a recently-recorded interview with church spokesman Tommy Davis.
Friday's story is expected to focus on the celebrity angle of Scientology -- the church has aggressively courted celebrities such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta for decades -- showing how famous names are treated inside the group and examining how Miscavige may be influencing Cruise's behavior, according to the spokeswoman.
Nightline airs at 11:35 p.m. weeknights on ABC, WFTS-Ch. 28 locally. It is likely the Scientology stories will fill 60 percent of each night's show.

I'm not sure without more digging than I care to do at this time, but it looks like ABC's Nightline site provides online videos of episodes, after they air.
I hope they do, because I work tonight. :(

Davis is such a poor spokesman for the cult. He couldn't make eye contact with the reporter 90% of the time and stumbled when rpf was first brought up.
I'm glad Marty is speaking out against the cult, but he is still not trust worthy in my mind. IMO he wants to be the next leader of the cult.

I wish
1) more on the pruif and the od of vitamins ans what it does to your system
2) less on ot3 or xenu. I agree with davis its all over the net and I agree spending 300,000 to find out about aliens, past lives, and etc is offensive.
3) less on tc and the hollywood crew
4) more on the emeter
However, they covered lots and hopefully people will research and find out more!
