Smoking isn't good for you. I don't think FNC is biased if they suggest that people would be better off spending their money on non-tobacco products.

I'll be the first to agree that smoking isn't the healthiest habit to pick up, I've never said anything different.

If FNC only suggested people would be better off spending their money on non-tobacco products I would agree you.

However, every Sunday morning FNC, through the auspices of Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld, gives free publicity to every pharmaceutical company that makes a "smoking cessation device." And FNC continues the same bias in their news coverage whenever the topic arises.

OOPS, I almost forgot ----Dr. Rosenfeld is on the payroll of at least one of the above mentioned pharmaceutical companies.

Please, please help me find that FNC is unbiased on the issu of tobacco.

Well I don't watch much Foxnews other than Hannity and O'Reilly, so I've never even heard of the guy you mentioned. But it would seem that your problem is with this Rosenfeld fella and not FNC.
