Big pharma spending makes up a big chunk of big medias ad revenue, so obviously if big media wants to retain their “sponsors”, they will go along with the big pharma narratives, such as COVID and COVID vaccines.
Supposedly there are only TWO countries in the world that allow big pharma to advertise drugs directly to consumers, and the USA is one of those countries.
Obviously this has created a huge conflict of interests, because big media has become the toothless lapdog of big pharma.
The solution, i believe, would be to outlaw direct-to-comsumer drug ads. Then big pharma couldn’t money launder their ill-gotten gains thru big media, disguised as “drug adverts”.
I suspect these drug ads don’t really make sense from an ROI perspective, BUT big pharma doesn’t mind losing money on ads, in exchange for the big media complicity in big pharma shenanigans.
How much “free advertising” has big media given to big pharma, in the form of non-stop COVID fear porn?
Pressure your lawmakers to outlaw big pharma adverts, both at the state level, and federal level
Ban them like they did The Marlboro Man and hard liquor.
Hard liquor ads are back.
NPR has whiskey ads
