Guest guest Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 "Big Pharma" Controls US "TV News"...Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim BolenMonday, July 4th, 2005There is no such thing as "investigative journalism" on US network television anymore. In fact, it's hard to find real news, at all, on the networks. "TV news" is all hype - every bit of it - and it is designed to promote the interests of those that write the checks for advertising. Nothing else.The single largest group of advertisers during the news hours, I've noticed, is "Big Pharma." Roughly fifty percent (50%) of all advertising, during the news hours, comes from the pharmaceutical industry.And it's paying off, handsomely, for them - but not for America...Simply spoken, "Big Pharma" is using America's airwaves to destroy the American fabric. Our TV media, the same media we, as Americans, count on, as "the fourth estate," to monitor society's problems, has been prostituted as an advertising campaign for the interests of the biggest, and most evil, enemy America, and democracy, has ever had to face - "Big Pharma."To read the whole article, click on the URL below:http://www.quackpotwatch.org/opinionpieces/Big%20Pharma%20Controls%20Media.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
