If your goal is to try and reform from within then sure, spending months waiting for BS replies from journals is the best/only way.
If your goal is to spread the word that psychology is unreliable and you don't care much about what psychologists themselves think, then podcasts and talk shows are a far more effective strategy.
Psychology isn't really a very harmful field - bad claims in psychology mean maybe some people waste time on a useless self help method, or don't get proper psychiatry when maybe they should. But a lot of low level damage still adds up, and there's a lot of people who listen to psychologists. If you go the media (NB: which is what Brown is doing here), then you can potentially have a more positive impact on balance.
