RFK Jr Wants To Ban Pharmaceutical Ads On TV

[toobfreak]

Because the first amend does not protect libel.

Who did Jones libel? Why isn't calling Trump a Nazi, dictator, and russian asset libel?

Well, the SCOTUS got it wrong back then. Freedom of speech is a quality enjoined to INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY. A corporation is not an individual, so has no individual rights. Corporations have no "right" to advertise on TV, if they want to advertise, let them advertise in medical journals and such.

I cannot believe phrama companies think that advertising on TV actually increases sales enough to justify the cost.

I don't know what their data shows as to cost/benefit. I do believe the first place I learned of the more recent prostate fix - urolift - was in an ad, and I'm grateful.

They want to change every medical visit to:

Patient -- I want this brand name drug that I saw on TV.
Provider -- Okay

pHARMa gets the revenue and very often the provider gets the kickback.

If you don't have an answer, just admit it.

Oh god. I won't duck a civil question, but honestly I'm not gonna spend much time

Davis had already issued a summary judgment ruling that found Fox’s on-air claims about Dominion were false, but the trial was set to determine whether Fox had acted with “actual malice” and made the claims despite knowing they were untrue.
Dominion had previously suggested it was not open to settling the lawsuit, and the trial was slated to include testimony from such figures as Fox hosts Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham and Fox Corp. chair Rupert Murdoch.
Fox said in a statement following the settlement, “We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false”—but the media company stopped short of issuing an apology, while Dominion’s team repeatedly ignored questions at a news conference about whether Murdoch personally apologized.

Fox News Settles Dominion Defamation Case For $787.5 Million, Dominion Lawyer Says

The trial was expected to start Tuesday but court was delayed for hours as the two sides worked out a last-minute settlement.

As for Jones, if he was on fire, I wouldn't piss on him, although if I had a can of oven spray or full gas can ......

There’s a show on HBO MAX called ‘Common Side Effects’ about a guy who’s discovered a mushroom that will cure anything.

The main action plot of the show is about Big-Pharma trying to kill him before he can get it out to the world.

There was even a scene about how pharma combines hire people to tweak medication commercials to distract viewers as much as possible from the list of side effects.

Ironically, every single commercial break for the show there is a commercial for some medicine. Every time. Makes you wonder who’s in charge of buying ad time and product placement

Yes, I know all that. Thing is, I've seen video to suggest that the Dominion machines are indeed addressable via the internet and can be programmed to skew the results. I don't see why whatever Fox reported they did not claim was just their opinion. I also don't see why Fox settled out of court, it made them appear guilty.

As for Jones, if he was on fire, I wouldn't piss on him, although if I had a can of oven spray or full gas can ......

Well, apparently, Jones advanced theories that these school shooter kids were being groomed by the government. Another opinion. Who was the victim here? There is actually evidence to support that position. But in both cases, both parties were expressing views in programming geared towards editorial comment, not hard news---- I guess my point here is that I've seen media libel Trump 10,000 times and it defended every time as freedom of the press--- I just wonder where that freedom went when it comes to a conservative being libeled? (questions asked rhetorically)

Tax write-offs.

So answer the question. Who did they libel? You seem to be a master of the irrelevant.

**** the tax write-offs, I want all that medical crap taken off TV. I literally cannot stand to sit through the stuff, hour upon hour of advertisements for Cialis, Viagra, Celebrex, Abilify, Xyzol, and whatever else. Pills, Pills, drugs, and lotions.
