Media Activism
Peter Jennings has died of lung cancer. He apparently smoked like 20 years ago and then quit. Then he started again after 9/11 and quit again. Now, under those circumstances, I don’t know that smoking caused his cancer. Yet, the WaPo mentions smoking. Also, the local GOB network talk radio station spent all morning doing their anti-smoking thing due to Jennings’ death. Guess every bit of bad news has to be politicized.
