Hi Dave, It's OK to disagree, that why we share our opinions. Otherwise, this would be a boring board! ;) In general, these reporters work for large companies that are powered by advertisement revenue. In my heart, I believe that most would relish accepting big tobacco's ads- but can't. Surprisingly, we see ads for cockamamie disorders that company's make up, to sell drugs such as the new, "Ambien." The next time you watch a drug ad, listen to the fast-paced disclaimer at the end- sometimes scarier than what's on the side of a Marlboro box. John Stossel may indeed be an independent thinker, but do you really believe he "says what he thinks" while reporting on national TV? If he did, I would be most impressed. Regards, Theo
