Why do people even watch the news? The news personnel doesn't do any homework, so it's not educational. It's just mildly entertaining.

I really like the conclusion: "ideally, it's supposed to give you the same goals, the same outcome as a regular cigarette". I guess you can put any stupid person on TV and say anything idiotic you want these days...

There doesn't appear to be anyone who is a real journalist any more. Not like in the old days. They usually only tell you half the story at best and at times they leave out the most important parts.

The on air people are only reading the stuff any way. If you can read out loud and not make mistakes and look presentable, you're hired. Particularly if you don't question the producer's copy.

Came across this article, while scanning My Yahoo news page: Today2News.com. It was in Today 2 News and written on 9/10/2010. Very favorable plug for e-cigs! Yea!!

If you'll look closely you'll find that the entire site is a sham. Anything specific is all advertising. There is even a disclaimer at the very top of the page.
