RFKJr. Rumored to Be on Verge of Blocking Big Pharma From Advertising on Television

@amuse @amuse

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 trillions in advertising dolars.

The Vigilant Fox @VigilantFox

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.

If reports are true--and I pray they are--that RFK Jr. is gonna ban Big Pharma ads on TV, a massive society earthquake is about to happen on two fronts.

#1: The corporate media will fail. You will watch before your very eyes as highly paid MSM anchors are fired, networks panic & some shut down, and paychecks aren't paid. The entire business of MSM is a fake business. It's artificially propped up by massive ad dollars from Pharma ads. Not because of the return on investment that Pharma sees peddling their drugs on TV, but rather because of WHY Pharma buys so many TV ads in the first place, which is to prevent reporting on Pharma corruption.

#2: Accordingly, when the gravy chain of Pharma ad dollars to TV networks stops, we will suddenly see reporting on the corruption of Big Pharma, drugs, vaccines, medical associations like AAP & AMA, and govt regulation agencies like CDC & FDA--reporting that was previously prohibited because the ad money Pharma paid networks was really just a pay off for silence. Pharma knew they didn't sell drugs off those commercials, it was a money laundering scheme to keep reporters silent about the abuses coming out of Pharma. Even Roger Ailes once admitted he didn't let his people on Fox report negatively on Pharma because it would destroy their bottom line.

If reports are true--and I pray they are--that RFK Jr. is gonna ban Pharma ads on TV, the double revolution of Big Pharma & MSM is about to begin.

Can't wait.
