Question: why would a national talk show host lie about chrysotile

Congress to lay off the asbestos industry with further regulation-
through the use of THE LIE?!

It's a nice scenario but way off base. Most talk show hosts are
neo-conseervatives who feel any government regulation is bad. One has
even argued against the views of scientists concerning global warming.

One is science, the other is political opinion and ignorance. The
problem is that the talk hosts have a bigger platform than the
scientists.

As for your contention that they're violating FCC rules, please
document which rules they're breaking. Unless you can prove they're
taking money from corporations, there's no regulation governing
inaccuracy by opinion.

I can not PROOVE that FCC crimes are happening. Just as with ANY crime
(abduction, embezzlement, etc.) the overwhelming APPEARANCE of a crime
is enough to initiate an INVESTIGATION by the proper agency. If the
books show money missing from a business or government account- an
investigation is started. If a talk show host continually lies about
consumer products and at the same time- reaps in ad contracts for
those products or a subsidiary product- an investigation should be
made (interviewing insiders for instance) as to the INTENT of the
DECEPTIONS.
