It amazes me how Gutfeld was suddenly "misinformed" in a time when he needed to be more informed than ever. I watch Gutfeld every single day and also read lots of his articles and he is a very sharp dude. For him to hand over the debate to a bimbo who obviously gets her answers from others who have brain washed her is appalling to me. I don't know as much as many members on this forum but even I could have thrashed that silly bimbo in that debate. To me, this suggests that there is some type of media hanky panky going on here. If anyone thinks that most media outlets do not have various agendas from the people who are providing their funding, no matter what the subject is about, then you are deluding yourself.

I haven't seen Gutfeld debate anybody else on any topic, so as far as I know, maybe he always debates in rant mode, which seemed like part of the problem. However, the biggest problem was his being unprepared and underinformed, maybe because the societal benefits of the harm reduction aspect of vaping seem extremely obvious, and he might've been thinking it was going to be easy. I'm taking people's word for it that he normally prepares very well, since I haven't watched him much.

Regarding agenda, I think the biggest clue as to what motivates Greg on this issue shows through when he talks about his parents.

Do a search on this forum and you'll get 9 pages of citations, and about 6 threads - all really positive, from Gutfeld. He was the first on any network to give the positive views of ecigs. He quit smoking with them. He's learned all along the way and is still learning - like many of us.

I think John Stossel was the first, when he interviewed Bill from SmokeStik--on the same network.

Having said that, Greg, as much as I like him, was woefully unprepared for this interview. Both of them, Greg and the poor doctor, seemed like they had no idea what they were talking about. "There are studies"... (what studies???),"antifreeze," "second hand smoke," "formaldehyde"... Dear Lord...

I think Stossel's interview (1/2011) was a bit before Gutfeld - at least as reported here, but before both of them it was Rush Limbaugh (3/2010).

As I said above - not his best moment but not 'no idea' :- )
