National News

[Fidola13]

tonight are including segments of the dangers of vaping and teens on CBS and ABC.

This should be interesting.

I'm sure it will be "Fair and Balanced."

I'm sure they'll fairly balance the coverage across many dangers: popcorn lung, cancer, exploding vapes, gateway to smoking, ...

I just can't manage to watch the news anymore. I'll let y'all watch it and then read the bad news y'all pass on.

I usually end up yelling at my TV.

"Shut the front door!! That's a lie!!"

(That's the PG rated version.)

This can’t be good for us....

This is why I stopped watching the news a decade ago. Bad enough sorting through print media these days but at least there you can sorta dig out the issues. A 60 second segment for an important, or really any news story beyond the weather, is impossible to accomplish

I'll let y'all watch it

22 (24?) cases of teenager pneumonia-like illness...spread across 3 States...

One (at least) had bought his cartridge "on the street"...

Many thought to involve e-liquids that ECF bans discussion of...

[I'm guessing most/all had eaten mashed potatoes in the last week...but NO mention was made of the mashed potatoes.]

I bet the news won't mention that.

Well, FDA is taking action.
Honestly speaking, they are doing their job.
FDA notifies four companies to remove 44 flavored e-liquid and hookah tobacco products from the market for not having required marketing authorization
Agency remains vigilant in investigating and taking action against illegally marketed tobacco products amid epidemic of youth e-cigarette use

The TV News sounds like duckspeak to me.

...Winston turned a little sideways in his chair to drink his mug of coffee. At the table on his left the man with the strident voice was still talking remorselessly away....He held some important post in the FICTION DEPARTMENT....It was just a noise, a quack-quack-quacking....Every word of it was pure orthodoxy, pure Ingsoc....Winston had a curious feeling that this was not a real human being but some kind of dummy. It was not the man's brain that was speaking, it was his larynx. The stuff that was coming out of him consisted of words, but it was not speech in the true sense: it was noise uttered in unconsciousness, like the quacking of a duck.

TV news is a joke. It’s painful to watch. Must have DVR to speed through the trash.

I don't watch TV at all anymore. There are a few shows that I miss, but that's not enough to make want to watch it anymore. More than thrice, I've had to tell my roommate to turn down the volume a bit, I've even gone so far as to put my headphones on, or put my earplugs in. The worst thing is, she only watches the news. Local news I can put up with, but to make it worse she is a Fox News-aholic. I'm sure she and at least 4 or 5 others will feel they have to warn me about the dangers of vaping that will be spun out.

I stream. No news, no nonsense, no ads (well, a few on Hulu) and I watch more stuff that I actually want to see than I ever did with cable for a fraction of the cost.

I'm a streamer too.

Ya know how the media has been sensationalizing the street bought cartridge happenings?

Imagine if they reported everyone who was hospitalized in a week with smoking related illnesses..

 

[Tonee N]

There will be a 30 million dollar investigation of Vaping Collusion. [emoji1787]

Problem is WHAT people vapes, not the fact that they vape. TV is conveniently ignoring this.

Last two things I watched on TV, have been the last Pope taking seat, and the Olympic opening ceremony. Because in year 2006 I stopped watching broadcast TV, switching to online streaming and catch-up services. Very common with youngs, but not among my generation tho.

Hope they make amends to the "great vape witch hunt", based on the conflation of the act itself with the substance which is vaped.

No mention of plasticised gums, projectile vomiting or being unable to taste caviar? Those spammers are not worth the $5 they were paid ....

You forgot the inherent dangers of using extra strong melamine board in atty production!
