“Fox News would never mention anything detrimental to Pfizer because Pfizer supplies 80% of Fox News’ advertising revenue.”
As I recall Russell Brand recently read a study on his video cast claiming 70%+ of television ad revenue comes from Big Pharma. If true, perhaps it is time to return to the days when prescription medicine advertising was not allowed on television.
No other country allows it.
“If true, perhaps it is time to return to the days when prescription medicine advertising was not allowed on television”
Actually we just want to go back to the days when they didn’t have to have the idiot recite all the warnings with silly piano lines or Barry Manilow tunes being played as background.
I have noticed that in recent years, there’s been a heck of a lot of advertising for pharmaceuticals. Way too much, especially in the evening prime-time hours.
And I do watch way too much tv…
