OMG, big tobacco even part of it

Story at-a-glance
Last year, Internet Brands, a company under the global investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) umbrella, announced its acquisition of WebMD Holdings
KKR also owns a number of other health-related internet brands, including DentalPlans.com, eHealthForum.com, HealthBoards.com, AltMD.com and FitDay.com
KKR used to own tobacco conglomerate RJR Nabisco, but after “engineering a stock swap” with Borden in 1995, it no longer has direct ownership of Nabisco
After KKR bought the Weekly Reader, research showed its tobacco ties led to more tobacco-related articles appearing in the student newspaper, and while the stories superficially discouraged children from smoking, word choices and phrasing sent a subconscious message to the contrary
WebMD has partnered with Google Home to allow users to ask medical questions via the Google Home smart speaker
