Maybe it’s because everything he does opens in a new tab or window.
?
Why don’t he just tell the 500 billion dollar industry to shut down all tv?
(90 percent of the commercials I see are for drugs)
Same reason Trump is president and people ignore him and ignore that fact

Or geoengineering. California is blanketed today.
Sorry. Read through your posted text and it will make sense.
I don’t get it. This is the same article from the headline.
Drug companies have Amendment I rights.
In my youth, health insurance didn’t pay for drugs.
I’m 66. I’ve never had an outpatient drug paid for by insurance.
In my youth, I was covered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield hospitalization. My mother wrote checks to pay for doctor visits and prescriptions.
I don’t know but sometimes there is metadata or something or other that automatically posts when you copy paste. No big deal, just making light of how it reads. You’re cool.
The Citizens United decision would suggest that corporations have free speech rights.
The problem is probably with the Administrative Procedures Act. It takes a while to change the rules, and requires notice and time for public comment. RFK, Jr., may be able to shut down new ads, i.e., those not yet approved, but those that have already been approved are a problem.
Perhaps. Does that mean a drug company can make an ad claiming that their pill will make you lose 50 pounds if there is no evidence?
Anything where the pharma industry is involved is going to take a long time and a lot of court battles. They won’t go away quietly.
Because the FDA doesn’t have anywhere near that kind of authority. The FCC might be able to ban them on broadcast, but even then that leaves cable, satellite and the internet wide open. We don’t live in a dictatorship, the government’s power are DELIBERATELY limited.
Fox News alone would lose 3/4ths of its sponsors…
Is that a bad thing?
Correct. Broadcast and cable news outlets derive 75% of their revenues from pharmaceutical companies. The company news store.
A little editing on your part to delete the 23 “new tab or windows” would have made your post readable.
How about if a drug is advertised on TV, it’s cost could not be paid by insurance?
