Another Fox Horror Show!!!

[2coils]

Dr Manny Alverez, says e-cigs are another gimmick from BT to keep smokers addicted. He also mentions any kid can go into a candy store to buy these devices. He could choke on his own B.S. (sorry for my over the top thoughts!). Clearly another "practicing physician" who is clueless. He even seemed cocky and arrogant on this show.

Arrogant and cocky? On Fox? Who woulda thunk it?

 

[hallucinoJEN]

The whole news piece sounded like an ad for nicotine patches.

I wish I could have left a comment under that video, but Fox News know they spread lies, so they don't want people to call them on their lies.

But I saw it on Fox so it must be true! (Sigh... )

Propellant? Doc, perhaps you should know what you are talking about before you get on tv? Sorry, that's as far as I've gotten so far.

 

[Spazmelda]

Did we have a little Freudian slip from the dr on the left? He said something like, "this is another gimmick from the pharmac... The electronic cigarette manufacturers". Lol.

The one on the left definitely said a lot of unsubstantiated things as if they were fact. He said they WERE attracting kids. This is not known. there are very few studies addressing this question, and it appears not to be true at this time. He said you WOULD go back to cigarettes. This is probably true for some people (especially ones who try gas station ecigs with little support), but as we can see here there are many people who have not gone back to cigarettes. Um... He said that cancer causing chemicals were found, MAYBE in A LITTLE BIT lower concentrations. It's DEFINITELY in lower concentrations, and not just a little bit. Orders of magnitude is the opposite of 'a little bit'.

Fox is no better or worse than any other media outlet in the US. Case in point would be NBCs alteration of the Zimmerman recording or ABCs omission of the real photographs of Zimmerman's injuries. Or CNNs habit of ignoring fact and pressing on with their social agenda anyway.

So don't shoot the messenger just for who they are (they're ALL bad) and focus on the message that's being portrayed in the broadcast.

In reality this isn't a "Fox News" thing as much as it's
an "Anti E-smoking" campaign ad ... bought and paid for by BP.

I'm sure BP is negotiating with other "so-called" news stations
to buy air-time to push back against e-cigarettes.

Our movement today is so large we will
shake-off this like a bad case of the fleas.

 

[Spazmelda]

Yeah, I know it's not really a Fox News thing (even though I'm a liberal, I can see this, lol). Fox has some more positive articles on ecigs as well. Most news stories these days basically present one side of a story based on who they interviewed or what research the reporter looked at. If you were to look at each news outlet to try to determine their overall stance on ecigs, they would all look relatively schizophrenic.

Obama said ... many times ...

So ....
That means E-cigarettes are a good thing !!

Stop listening to TV doctors. The life you save will be your own...

One of the first TV ads I remember was
"Better living through pharmaceuticals"

 

[AgentAnia]

Remember "L.S.M.F.T."?

And then there's the feminist ciggy:

You've come a long way, Baby
To get where you got to today.
You've got your own cigarette now, Baby.
You've come a long, long way.

This one cracks me up

[Vocalek]

Wow, I never saw that last one. I remember the Winston slogan. One of my English teachers was upset because the simile is supposed to be worded "as a cigarette should" not "like a cigarette should".
