90% of the corporate gaslight "news" media revenue is "Brought to you by Pfizer," which is why the corporate gaslight "news" media never has any bad news about Pfizer or the rest of the pharmaceutical industry.
NY TIMES.
Companies aren’t citizens, so they should not have full citizen rights.
The US citizen owners could say stuff, however.
75% of news media ad revenues come from big pharmacy companies. Got it?
Didn’t congress pass legislation some years ago to get rid of those ads? Whatever happened with that?
They’re some of the worst ads on TV ... and half of each of those ads is spent listing side effects.
Watching our news has terrible side effects.
Most of these ads tell you the reasons the drug will likely kill you.
I would LOVE that. Some hour-long shows’ ads make up about 50% of all the commercials. I, for one, resent shelling out $1K for a drug while these ultra glitzy and expensive ads are in my face all the time.
I want them banned too. I hate the ads because they are not selling them to viewers because we can’t buy or get them with a doctor’s prescription.. Big Pharma is just paying for good reporting on their poisons. That is the only reason for these ads.
It used to be illegal for lawyers to advertise on TV too. I’m all in favor of defunding the MSM nightly news.
Include in the ban the deceptive practice of using taxpayer money for government agencies such as the CDC to advertise for korporations.
Pfizer didn't run adds for their Jim Jones Jab - Fauxi had the CDC run them, using taxpayer money.
New Zealand ? The point is taken, though. If he runs in 2028 with ads still on it is going to be a total blackout on coverage once again.
I'm more worried about things like govt funded health insurance not allowing "unapproved" treatments. Of course the end results is the medical community has to go with the approved treatments to keep the govt money flowing.
And of course I'm worried about state regulations with covid and the forcing of taking "vaccines" to keep your job.
If you watch commercial television, you would think everyone on the planet has horrible skin problems.
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice for health secretary...”
I hope he gets confirmed.
Well done, Sir!
Used to be the rule. Returning to that would help I think.
He’s attacking the symptom, not the cause
As long as 3rd-party payers - which ultimately is government or government-regulated and controlled 3rd parties - the incentive for drug companies will ALWAYS be to push you, the consumer - to demand this drug.
they will also incentivize doctors to prescribe it
So as DC always does, RFK Jr. can do a “ban” - which does nothing to change the root of the problem.
I had a discussion with Freepers some time back and I thought they should be banned (I even had one jackwad who maintained the pharmaceutical commercials were “educational” and he kept asking me if I was against educating people)
Two Freepers rightfully pointed out it was a 1st Amendment issue, and...I had to reluctantly agree.
As much as I hated to do so.
I don’t watch television, but every time I glance at one in passing, there seems to be a pharmaceutical commercial on, often with two men or two women holding hands or some crap like that.
Fox won’t be happy - Pfizer et al OWNS them
This is why the megacorps and globaloids didn’t want Trump.
