RFKJr. Rumored to Be on Verge of Blocking Big Pharma From Advertising on Television
—Ace
MAHA: RFK Jr. is moving to ban Big Pharma advertising on TV, a direct strike at the lifeblood of networks like CNN, MSNBC, & CNBC, where Big Pharma bankrolls the programming generating 75% of ad revenue. The US is 1 of 2 countries that still allow them.
I don’t really care about this issue, to be honest.
But here’s what I do care about:
1, Big Pharma does not advertise on television to influence consumers, who cannot of course just buy the medications themselves. (It can tell consumers to suggest the drug to a doctor, but there are other ways to market to doctors, and of course Big Pharma does that too.)
Big Pharma advertises on television to influence the media, because the media would die without their billions in advertising dollars.

Why are there so many pharma ads on TV?
HINT: It’s not to sell drugs.
A TV news president admitted to RFK Jr. that any host allowing him to speak negatively about Big Pharma on air would be FIRED because “this is where our advertisers are.”
Jaws dropped when former pharma insider @CalleyMeans
told Tucker Carlson on his show, “The news ad spending from pharma is a public relations lobbying tactic, essentially to BUY OFF the news… The media plays referee because they’re funded by so on all levels.”There are only two countries that allow pharma ads on TV: one is the United States, and the other is New Zealand. And those pharma ads make up a BIG chunk of money.
RFK Jr. was told by a network executive that “during non-election years, during some months, up to 70% of his news division revenues are coming from pharma.”
During the 1950s and 1960s, when evidence about the dangers of smoking began to emerge, news organizations hesitated to expose Big Tobacco because they depended on the industry for its ad revenue.
Now, the same conflict exists today with the pharmaceutical industry and TV news. This is why the mainstream media is in full-blown PANIC over RFK Jr.’s HHS appointment. They know that once he gets in, he is going to END pharma ads on TV. And that’s going to be a devastating blow to their wallets.
Liz Wheeler says that the media will literally go bankrupt if Big Pharma is banned from advertising. They’re on life support as it is

And after banning the advertising he can do something about Big Pharma and it’s undue influence peddling directly to Doctors to get them to prescribe the latest….and most expensive…drugs.

I can say with absolute certainty that I have never, ever asked my physician about a medication I heard about from a TV advertisement. I’m pretty sure I will never, ever do so. Those ads are the primary reason I rarely watch live TV. I’ll record what I want to watch on the DVR, then fast-forward through the advertising garbage.

Banning the advertising is a good start, but just a start…and probably as far as it will ever go. Immunity from lawsuits is the big fish here, and an obvious target to go after. Anyone that suffered loss because of those “vaccines”, and there are thousands, if not millions of us out there, deserve their pound of flesh. I’d also enjoy RFK extending any power he might enjoy to demand some accountability from the bad actors starting with that evil midget on down.

Agreed. I had my little ‘mild’ heart attack after the vaccine.
I’ve lost good friends from sudden and incredibly aggressive cancers around that time too.
Did you ever think we’d be standing on the sidelines and cheering on …

The irony is palpable, for sure. I may have mentioned once or twice that my best bud of 50 years got jabbed twice and died while we were talking on the phone. Yeah, you might say I remain bitter…

Yup, the ads are paying off the media.
