PBS TV: The McLaughlin Group tackles FDA regulations this weekend

[Rickajho]

This is on right now, and The McLaughlin Group program repeats several times over the weekend so check your listings.

I can't say the arguments are the most reasoned but it is interesting to see them try and tackle the topic. There is at least one former smoker turned vaper on the panel, sadly not very well informed. The exit question is "Should Congress overturn this regulatory over-reach?"

OT - Do we have the likes of The McLaughlin Group to thank for today's political atmosphere..?

Thanks for the heads up. I looked at mcglaughlin.com, and if anyone misses it over the weekend, in about a week or two it should be available to download as an mp3. It looks as though it will be available on youtube as well. Just go to TMG Library on the website and you'll find it there once it's up.

I'm surprised that such a great TV station as PBS would have a positive show about PV's with weak support.. </rant & sarcasm>

You can watch the video from this link

The Mclaughlin Group : FREEDOM TO SMOKE!!

That may have been one of the worst "intellectual" interviews I've watched in a long time.

OK, that was a waste of 13 minutes. No mention of millions of people likely reverting to smoking or thousands of businesses going under due to these regulations.

I'm only a few minutes in to the video and they seem to think the impact on the regs will be "prices will go up" ...plus that lady with the whole tobacco industry produces the product comment.

I watched it. They are lightweights, shallow, uninformed. There was no producer support. Nobody did any research, not even the vaper. Everything was based on each one's ideology. If you showed up in class so unprepared you'd get a spanking, itstead they put it on TV.

I expected no less from PBS.
