In a contentious television interview broadcast this morning, Bob Dole charged that the "liberal media" were promoting the Democratic line in questioning his statement that tobacco may not be addictive to everyone. He also asserted that the Democratic Party was more beholden to tobacco interests than he was. Mr. Dole, appearing with his wife, Elizabeth, in a segment of the NBC News program "Today" that was recorded Sunday, countered queries about his ties to the tobacco industry with questions about the motives and honesty of his challengers -- including news organizations and the White House. He also criticized in a less pointed way a Republican political supporter, former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, who last week expressed concern over Mr. Dole's skepticism about the addictiveness of cigarettes. Mr. Dole agreed with a questioner who suggested that Dr. Koop may have been "brainwashed."
