Stoves are a pretty big source of directly-inhaled NOx pollution that is pretty much unregulated. Turning on the vent can help if it vents outside (many do not) but often not by enough to bring things down to a won't-give-kids-asthma level.

They do sometimes publish, say, environmentalist-oriented articles.

They don't ever publish stuff calling for a redistribution of power from capital to labor.
