Hi DrByrnes Thanks for your evaluation of the 20/20 piece. Schizophrenic is the right word, that's for sure.

But, the segment 20/20 [ABC] ran was not half as bothersome as was the one done by CBS for the show '48 Hours'. Don't know if you happened to catch it, but in the midst of discussing the pros and cons of low carb, the 48 Hours report suddenly shifted to a profile of Dr. Atkins' private life and his homes. The nasty reporter made a huge deal about Dr. A's weath and lifestyle....as if the man, a cardiologist by training and a best selling author, did not somehow have the right to earn millions of dollars and live a wonderful lifestyle!!?? It was as if she was trying to say: "Look, all of you suckers who have bought into the low carb craze....All you really have done is helped Dr. A buy this fabulous house in the Hamptons."

It is no wonder CBS has the lowest ratings in network television news.
