When the mass media get 70% of their income from the medical and pharmaceutical companies are they every going to bite the hand that feeds them.

The price might make you suicidal but... ask your doctor.

The medical, pharmaceutical industry and politicians all get their cut while the suckers pay the price and believe what they are told.

Reality can be uncomfortable.

The mass media is made up of collectivist idiots who don't know the first thing about economics or science. They demonize the drug industry simply because they believe, like you, that the profit motive is evil. The MSM is no friend of industry and anyone believing such tripe is a fool.

Industry spends their marketing dollars with the mass media because it provides the best means for communicating their message and for building their brand. People who espouse the nonsense that "Big Pharma" is in bed with the MSM also believe that industry and the FDA are in cahoots to screw the unsuspecting public. The inhabitants of this fever swamp have no grasp of the relationship between government and industry because they've never been associated with either. But that won't stop them from hurling their idiocy from the sidelines.

You have no grasp of reality which is why you post your ignorance here. You're just another closet collectivist who could care less about anyone else as long as you get yours. Ignorance is a whole lot easier than learning basic economics or working in the industry. Those things take smarts and effort. You should avoid them because they might hurt your brain. Of course, when you do hurt your brain the pharmaceutical industry will, fortunately, have something to offer you to relieve it. Treating the symptom rather than the cause is the best they can do. Because, as Ron White says, you can't fix stupid.
