This thing started appearing a month ago, for a while network affiliates were passing it around under the title "E-Cigarettes Under the Microscope." Consumer Reports published it a week later in their online and print editions. It also comes in a video version, that network affiliates were patching on to the end of their lame video reports, after they added the obligatory splash of "local color."

I thought we were rid of this piece of garbage for good about a week ago ... and then I saw it picked up by some cheesy network affiliate today, still with the "under the microscope" title. (I wondered whether they'd just made a mistake and had intended to run a story about Baby Jessica again.)

Little did I realize that it would resurface in WaPo. With all the effective ANTZ messaging going around today ... you'd think they could've dug up something more recent.

Yecch. This deserves letters and comments, as well as an air sickness bag. (Do we have a smiley for that?)
