If the scandals are everywhere, then how can one credibly claim they're not being reported?
No substantiation of the 'if you give us a hard time...' remark either.
We ALL can recall numerous drug recalls reported on national broadcast news and on cable news. So too with any pricing controversies and, of course, the scandalous availability of opioids facilitated by their makers.
Any reduction in drug advertising because of THAT adversarial reporting? Not according to the author of the article.
Anybody miss any of that? Me neither. Another way in which Trump and his supporters mirror each other? With the statement "Nobody knows....", of course.
Every time Trump said it I thought, 'I knew that!' His benighted supporters? Not so much.

However, as an industry ponying up billions of dollars for TV ads, Pharma can limit exposure and negative publicity. It can (and does) say to television networks: If you give us a hard time on the news, we’ll take our ad money and go somewhere else. Boom. End of problem.
