I didn't even watch the show about ecigs because I knew exactly what it would entail from the likes of government kept terrestrial television "Oh heres the facts, but now were gonna spend the rest of the program talking about POSSIBLE dangers but present it in a way, that means what we say is the be all and end all of the whole situation and we won't cover any positives", surprise surprise the first thing I heard in work this morning was "Oh they're toxic for you them chemical cigarette things aren't they, was on the telly last night". Unfortunately it seems that people lacking in brain capacity don't think the saying, not everything you read on the internet is true, applies on every other form of available media too.
I once watched a BBC documentary supposed to address all the facts about a certain plant that people like to consume recreationally in an equal and informed manor, I never seen so many examples of hypocrisy and scaremongering with facts, that had already been proven false by numerous US scientists, but of course because we're in the UK their research has no place according to the BBC.
My favourite line was - "It hijacks the brain like a biological terrorist" and that example of the language used, is why 50% of the population understand that the Daily Mail is a ludicrous unethically rife tabloid and other percentage are avid readers and will no longer consume more than one fizzy drink a day in fear of getting numerous cancers.
