Well, I think it's safe to say they didn't really spend much time discussing 'chronic fatigue syndrome.' Most of the time seemed devoted to Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and some common symptoms including chronic fatigue. But I would say it was done in any sort of offensive way. Certainly had no problem with Dr. Pressly. I do suspect he's not exactly an expert in ME/CFS; and he spent more time dealing with specific issues raised by callers (who were not ME or even "CFS" patients) than you're used to hearing on programs like this that tend to shy away from offering medical advice.
I have a feeling that the host knew that it would be easy to say the wrong thing and get people angry, especially ME/CFS patients with any knowledge of the history and/or politics of the disease. The term ME was never mentioned; neither was PACE, the IOM report, or any other recent research (Epstein-Barr was discussed, though). When the topic of exercise came up, it was addressed as a generally good thing for just about everybody, with no mention of any controversy surrounding its effects in ME/CFS. It just seemed to me that they were being careful, because if not I would've expected to hear boilerplate CFS info & advice.
Better, much better, to have simply not delved into it at all, than to ignorantly forged ahead with harmful info from CDC or Mayo Clinic. That said, it was rather odd to listen to an hour's worth of a medical show that was advertised as being about CFS when it was really only peripherally referred to at all.
