I want to know why none of the MSM news/cable TV programs are not speaking to this issue which has such major ramifications. Nothing so far on Fox at all. This is a game changer event and all I’ve heard so far from the press is crickets.

I remember the debates about whether prescription drugs should be allowed to be advertised on TV. Like most people, I suspected the obvious, which was that the drug companies simply wanted to sell their more of their product, by having the drug users go to their doctor and demand Claritin, for example.

But now I think differently - what they really wanted was LEVERAGE over the media. And now, with half of all TV advertising (or close enough to half), they can simply threaten to pull advertising if the media gets too ‘nosy’ or ‘aggressive’. That’s why there’s never even been a hit piece against them since they started advertising, even prior to Covid.

“Nothing so far on Fox at all.”

fox is now a complete wasteland as it’s obvious that their talking heads have all been ordered not to mention HCQ, IVR, or really anything related to covid or the vaccines or their consequences, such as not working for omicron, side-effects, etc. ...

as a result, jesse and tucker have zero to say of interest anymore, simply repeating news already published from earlier in the day by numerous other sources ... the talking heads also quit having top leadership guests that actually had important things to say, like Rand Paul and Jim Jordan ... instead, the talking heads have a bunch of random nobodies who just parrot back what the talking heads say, only with lots of stuttering and irrelevant tangential meanderings ...

consequently, we’ve now completely stopped watching FNC ...

I tuned in MSNBC very early this morning, before Morning Joe - they were well aware of the ramifications. I think the news is suppressing this now. Might have Rats, jumping out of windows. Even Schumer is saying it won’t affect the agenda (BS. This is a MAJOR downer for the Rats - they don’t want to demoralize their supporters …
