I agree.

I’ll also make a similar retort to the one I made to the businesses screaming that they can’t make it without Latino indentured servants: if your business model doesn’t work without mountains of pharma ad money your business model doesn’t work.

The externalities of that choice for everyone else are too negative to continue down that path just for their benefit.

If Bongino, Tucker and Rogan can outperform you from an audience standpoint without Pfizer underwriting their businesses, maybe Fox isn’t good enough to make it?

Frankly does the nation even benefit from msnbc, CBS News or Fox pretending to be news while pushing political ideology? I’d argue we are better off without them.

Funny I never see ads for cigarettes or guns n ammo, or for the porn shop up the road.

This is Krakatoa for the legacy media. Pharma money allowed them to disregard their dwindling audience. I don't know exactly how it will play out but if it sticks we're in a brand new world in regard to the MSM.

I got rid of cable LOOOONG time ago, the only thing we watch is Netflix, YouTube or Hulu, etc….

The times when we get back to the USA from being unplugged from the MSM and we are staying at a hotel we are blown away at the complete trash that is cable today!
You get bombarded with commercials and the programming has jumped the shark, sex, sex and more sexual content that 20 years ago would have been band across all networks!

I couldn’t stand watching any of that garbage for more than 5 minutes, I don’t know how you guys do it!!

Do you have itchy scalp? Try scalgopine.

Side effects include rash, headaches, vomiting, suicidal thoughts, early onset dementia, cancer, and bleeding out the eyes and rectum.

I think I’ll just deal with itchy scalp.

Good. We should have strung people up the moment 'may cause death' hit the airwaves.

We have W to thank for a lot of that.

Is bribery freedom?

Doctors don’t get medical treatment advice from their patients. They already know about these treatment options.

You and others need to learn that pharmaceutical advertising is a form of bribery to tv networks to go soft on them with their investigative journalism and news reporting.

Those ads make no sense, they exist to pay off the networks.
