    Debra Knapp on KATU news recently reported the"terrible" opiate addiction in the US.  Yes, there is a problem but she did not present the other side of the story, where millions of people with cancer, arthritis, etc. benefit from these drugs and DO NOT abuse them.
        What should be covered as well is the thousands of MDs that overprescribe these drugs inappropriately.  This wasn't mentioned either.  Let's have more a objective, comprehensive discussion of opioid use with ALL sides discussed.  This is objective reporting.
