Are all news stories are as faked as the ones showing something in a lab? One had two doctors(?) in lab coats peering at a microscope slide they are holding to the light above their head and the reporter is saying "they are examining samples from a cancer patient." 

Wow, good eyesight!

Carefully placed scientific equipment, as well as spokespeople dressed in lab coats, are great marketing tools for anything touted to cure us or make us healthier.

Next time you watch an actual medical or research-based news story, check out how they ALWAYS show someone pipetting. Always.
It's become a game for me to spot it.
