FoxNews has some really smart TV personalities

No, you can't blame Bush any more than you could Regan or Clinton. Congress has a problem with steroids and they are responsible for the laws and what is released to the media as talking points.
According to Dr. Harrison Pope (Harvard) there are two million men using steroids in the US today. And with all these men using steroids there are no massive reports of heart failure, cancer, riots in the streets, etc., that you would have to expect if any of what the media spews about steroids were true. The funny thing is that they know this. Dr Pope's work is published in major journals and it's right there in print and they ignore it.
As far as why? I can only think it's from the intense pressure put on our lawmakers by the IOC and NCAA to keep it out of amateur sports. And by the educators in the high schools and junior high schools who are fighting a losing battle to keep teenagers off steroids. Otherwise it simply doesn't make sense to demonize steriods they way they do.

Fox News is a big republican brain washing propaganda machine anyway.

I guess that means that CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, all of their websites, and half of the freaking newspapers in this land are big left wing ideaological, democratic bastions of liberal propaganda that frankly not many people are willing to watch, listen to, or read anymore. So the ratings say.

Just to clarify, I didn't post that video to make a point against America. I think this America-bashing fad (as it seems to me at least) amoung some groups is getting old and annoying. Now, debating the governments role in AAS is relevant and crucial IMO b/c as one pointed out, they are in charge of regulation and classification of the drugs. Its also a powerfull message to hear the president bashing them in a speech to the nation, which doesn't help the public's overall view of them. I'm not expecting the president to condone usage (its illegal), but on the same note, I don't see a need to him to touch that subject. I guess enough people voiced their concern to him to make it noteworthy in that speech.

About FoxNews: well, I have been watching Oreilly's show for a few years now, and thats about the extent of my foxnews viewing, minus a few H&C or Cavuto's. Not to say that I am an Oreilly zealot, agreeing w/ him on everything (I definitely don't), but I find the idea behind his show and his method of cutting through the most bullshit appealing to me. His view on supplements and roids is pretty off/misinformed as well. Hell, I remember one show where it sounded as if he was putting creatine in the same league as steriods as far as supplementation goes.

So why did I bring up my Oreilly example? Basically, I want to show how I think its less of an american or Republican vs Democratic thing as it is an overall attitude/information problem in the general public. I'm aware that I'm using TV personalities as examples, but if they didn't reflect attitudes present in the public, ratings would be crap and they wouldn't be on TV in the first place. Is this exclusive to America? I wish I could say, but I haven't lived outside of my country for a large amount of time to be able to say.
