***One of the bigger problems with the media is that they are basically controlled by their advertising***

I keep posting this for a few years; either it is not possible or powerful people are blind ---> Designate the powerful one sided media companies as Political Action Committees - PACs!❗ Then they lose 'profits' and their advertisers cannot claim their advertising expenses as tax exempt business expenses.!❗ ...they are 'political contributions', not a business expense tax write off.

🤷❓❓❓

While everything you say is absolutely true in court big pharma has 1,000 dollar an hour lawyers who could at the very least delay such a move indefinitely.

These(big phamra/the driveby media,) are criminal organizations that have covered almost everything and have paid huge monetary penalties in the past. They are hard to take down.

In the first place, I am not sure that I see drug companies having any 'standing' in a legal case against media companies. But more to the point, such a legal case puts much pressure on media companies to clean up their abuse of free speech - at NO cost for them.

Secondly, your resignation is typical Republican politics - don't fight legal abuses, just surrender and lose the battle. Goodbye, Republic...

The typical Republican reaction to illegal activity by their opponents is to ask for donations - but do nothing.
