SERIES ON MARIJUANA BIASED
SUN MEDIA'S series on marijuana was completely one-sided and biased. I saw
virtually nothing about the harmful health effects of marijuana, and not a
word about the fact it is a powerful, psychologically addictive drug which
has extremely debilitating effects on chronic smokers. This is hardly what
I call objective reporting. How about another series on the same subject
which looks at some of the real and damaging consequences of regular,
long-term smoking? I dare you.

(Funny, the pro-pot crowd thought our series was too supportive of the
status quo.)
