Between this and yanking their USAID funding, this could topple some of the MSM agitprop weapons.
Holy Cow! TV and streaming will go broke.
Wouldn’t that be special. It would ALMOST make the boob tube watchable again.
AP, Reuters, NYT, Politico = all propped up with our tax dollars.
I never see drug ads on Fox News, Newsmax, etc.
Yank ‘em.
I remember when drug ads and attorney ads were banned from the airways. We were healthier then.
I think this is the part most people don't understand when it comes to banning advertising. If the networks are making tons of money from pharma there's not much motivation in reporting bad stories.
Whatever will Fox do? LOLOLOL
Ads we never used to see on TV:
Prescription meds
Lawyers
Gambling
Whiskey
etc
I’ve been saying this for years now. Watch the evening news on any of the networks. It’s 1 minute of news and 2 minutes of pharma ads.
You’re correct, it’s to stop any negative publicity.
Dear lord this would be amazing. My wife and are both SO sick of these ads.
Most of the time the reason to take the drug is briefly mentioned so much you have no idea what the hell it’s for. SO SICK of them.
-SB
Cigarette ads are still banned anyways.
Faux news will get the sads - big pharma literally owns them.
When a higher up from one of the biggies got caught by the on hidden camera by the veritus founder and had a total freakout - not one word was mentioned on Fox.
Anyone remember that?
He has an uphill battle and I am not impressed by anything of his role yet.
On this topic, when he successfully both gets ads banned and makes it illegal to court doctors as they have for decades, wake me.
Not sure who came up with the plan, but it’s a beautiful way to obliterate some of the enemy without firing one shot or dropping one bomb.
All through the day, if I am watching tv at any time, all I hear during any commercials is the disgusting side effects.
Bring back the cigarette and liquor commercials.
Never quite understood purpose of the pharmaceutical ads. I usually don’t know what disease or symptom they supposedly are for, lots of things mentioned that can go wrong if you use, and I just can’t go out and purchase without prescription.
Just think about the ED and PE medicines. They are so distasteful they can not describe the symptoms they treat without using abrevistions.
That should be a indication how bad these ads are.
