The OP said "Dems are setting to propose ban on ecigs at National Level " -- so I guess if by "national level" he meant Capitol Grounds then Fox is right on the money. Seriously, though, I wouldn't get too excited that Fox is practically the only news source that seems to be pro-vaping. Having Fox on your side does not a good reputation make. Just sayin'.

From the bit I heard I thought this was different than the capitol bldg.- grounds issue - as they were comparing to the number of states that are
beginning to lean toward approving weed- and they did express their displeasure of the proposed ban by the dems -therefore I thought it was something different than the capitol bldg. issue - also sounded as it was something new happening
It is so hard to tell from the media anymore and the fact that I missed a bit of it

Is your position regarding Fox due to their right-leaning orientation, or are there other reasons?

More trusted than all the other liberal media outlets combined. It is your politicians who continue to attack vaping every chance they get.

And, the attack is based solely on the basis that vaping looks like smoking. Apparently, some have gone so far as to redefine vapor as smoke so as to reduce any resistance to restricting vaping.

Wow, just blatant liberal bias. Quite sad considering who is consistently trying to have vaping banned and how the other major media outlets provide only negative reports on vaping where as Fox is only major media outlet to provide primarily positive stories on vaping.

Honestly, I think vapers should welcome all the support they can get. If those other media outlets were supporting our freedom to replace smoking with vaping, I certainly would welcome their support.

You are right. Here is the first part of the story:

"To ensure that visitors and staff are protected from the potential dangers posed by electronic cigarettes and their vapor, U.S. Senators .... Durbin (D-IL), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Tom Harkin (D-IA), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), and U.S. Representative Henry A. Waxman (D-CA) today called on the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration and the House Office Building Commission to include electronic cigarettes in existing prohibitions banning smoking in all public places on Capitol Grounds and within twenty-five feet from entrances."

Funny what all of these legislators have in common. Yet when Fox calls them on the carpet for their nanny-state restrictions, it's Fox that is the problem according to some in this very thread. And one of the senators is from Illinois, how about that. It all makes more sense, now.

And isn't it the Mayor of Chicago, who just happen to be the former chief of staff to Obama who pushed through a ban on vaping.

I agree completely and I too would welcome their support. But that won't happen.

Fox is the only network that has continuously provided positive coverage of e-cigarettes--from the very first interview with SmokStik CEO conducted by John Stossel a couple of years ago til the most recent coverage by Greg Gutfeld on The Five. They are on our side.

Rush Limbaugh is an e-cig user and a great advocate for our cause, also.

Like it or not.

Right, he is an e-cig user because he struggled with smoking in the past, just like everyone else here. I don't have to love the guy to be happy that he's saying supportive things about vaping. He just might be able to tip the balance in our favor, so we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. I would extend the same sentiment to anyone on the other side of the political spectrum, as well.

I welcome any major media outlet that has consistently reported accurate and positive information on E-cigs. Like them or not Fox consistently crushes every other News network in viewers meaning more people see the positive E Cig reporting. Also like them or not they are the only ones presenting correct and accurate information about E-cigs. Which I would think anyone on here would appreciate.
