I'm glad Tucker got a Big Pharma insider to ... state the obvious. I thought everyone knew why Big Pharma buys 50 percent (?) of the TV commercials we see. It's "protection money."

Protection money apparently well spent. These billions in ad spends have protected them from any critical reporting.

Imagine still believing the mainstream media is unbiased and impartial at this point 😂

But note the advertising that is now allowed - for example, casinos pushing sports betting and whiskey. The State advertises their lotteries ("for the children"), which they have a monopoly on. They are trying to get more people to spend their children's diaper and milk money on a 1-in-2-million chance to hit a jackpot. If you do hit that jackpot, the government will take 50 percent of the winnings off the top. (And you don't "win" $10 million because everybody takes the smaller instant payout figure.)

Everything is a racket and the government has taken over all of the Mob's best rackets.

But our Shadow Rulers have to subsidize their partners in the Legacy Media to make sure they don't go under under completely. They are needed to spread and reinforce all the bogus narratives.

What if Donald Trump wins the election and the next Congress passes legislation to ban pharmaceutical advertising? What effects do you think that would have?

That was a good piece, Robert. I remember being taught that space was the final frontier. Turns out the malleable human brain is the ultimate final frontier...

Makes sense. News media couldn't make payroll without big pharma. Their ads used to be illegal here.

Big Pharma and Plaintiff Trial Lawyer commercials. If only those super brave trial lawyers would sue Big Pharma or the hospitals that killed so many people.

JB's avatar

They could make payroll if they weren't so top heavy and people earned what they were truly worth. For real.

Kendra Anderson's avatar

It’s way past time to make them illegal here too. Can’t even stand to watch live tv

The information is out there in the internet how to reverse metabolic condition like diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure etc. Health education is important. I sat next to a passenger in a plane who was overweight and this person shared his medical history including diabetes. To lose weight his doctor prescribed Mounjaro. He continues that he will have surgery for crushed bones on a foot in two months. He had no clue of the side effects of the drug he was taking. I warned him that because these injections slows down gastric emptying he might be in danger of aspiration/choking if he gets put under anesthesia even if he eats nothing before surgery. Suggested that he mention that to his attending, surgeon and anesthesiologist. I hope he remembers our conversation.

Knowledge is power. Doctors are taught NOTHING (except Rockafeller cartel “medicine”).

In the future, doctors will not exist. Natural healers (holistic East/West) will be the norm.

It is the norm now for those awake.

If Pfizer and their ilk pay millions to CNN and their ilk, they are in effect their bosses. Pfizer may as well write the checks to the talking heads, themselves. Talking heads are not going to bite the hand that feeds them so well, by doing something silly like actual journalism.

Who the hell still watches television???? That’s the problem. Read a damn book!

He forgot a group…lawmakers. The bio pharmaceutical military industrial complex has most every lawmaker in this country bought and paid for!

Carlson: “pharma buys TV spots not to convince people to ask for specific drugs from their physicians, but to subvert the news business? […] I’ve never thought of that”

Really never thought of that? This is well known within the TV industry and he is an insider.

Is he really surprised to hear that?

This should be obvious by now, sad we still have to explain it to people...

In Canada the mainstream media has also been bought out. Even though it is 'illegal' to advertise prescription medication they have lobbied, bribed, the government with enough money to find a 'loophole' that allows them to advertise the name if the drug with vignettes that imply a certain drug and then they say 'ask your doctor'. Nothing like the States where it is a direct to condition ad complete with auctioneers reading off all the potential side effects. Pharma owns the media and the news which is why we haven't watched government news since April 2020. Sad.

Over past months I have heard on radio here in Australia- ‘if you require anti-virals - consult your doctor’ and finishes with ‘brought to you by Pf!

I was shocked and angry when I first heard. Still angry that they get away with it.

They must be lobbying hard.

Chomsky pointed that out many years ago, in a general way, that the purchasing of ads is to buy the tv systems.

Kyle Kissinger (no relation)'s avatar

Too bad Chomsky went off the deep end during Covid! He used to be quite sensible.

Sunshinegirl1217's avatar

he used to be someone i admired and respected until he turned into a frightened rabbit and wanted to send the unvaccinated to the camps.

Guy Duperreault's avatar

hello sunshinegirl1217

it turns out he was never actually 'senssible' to his core. he has a deeper level of authoritarianism that was harder to see, that is all. I explored that here: ""Just This Is It. What Is This? Pt 2: Rings In Our Noses and Introducing ‘The Chomsky Affect’ and ‘The Chomsky Paradox’" https://vigilantfox.substack.com/p/former-pharma-insider-unveils-big/comment/48747149

this also looks at the so-called stupefaction of the 'respected' naomi klein — not wolfe, although there are elements of the paradox with wolfe too — and jordan peterson's 'just get the damn shot.'

see, also:

"[Chomsky:] I think we should — at the most general level we should be seeking out forms of authority and domination and challenging their legitimacy. Sometimes they are legitimate. That is, let’s say, they are needed for survival. So, for example, like I wouldn’t suggest that during the 2nd world war, the forms of authority — we had a totalitarian society, basically. And I thought there was some justification for that under the wartime conditions. There are other forms, such as the relation between parents and children, for example, [that] involve forms of coercion. Which are sometimes justifiable. But any such form of coercion and control requires justification. Most of them are completely unjustifiable. At various stages of human civilisation it’s been possible to challenge some of them, but not others. Others are too deep seated. (From Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media ~ -2:29:50, my emphasis.)

da nada.

i've come to the conclusion that much of the so-called 'mfm' are themselves authoritarian in their cores and don't see it. they are using bully language and fear, in exactly the same way as the 'bad cabal', just for the 'rights'. i suspect that that unconsciousness adherence to fear of non-authority structures explains to a large extent the infighting with the mfm. fascinating times.

all the best.

Sunshinegirl1217's avatar

i am seeing the same thing within the movement and it IS fascinating times. best to you also.

Guy Duperreault's avatar

Yes. I explored that in an essay a few months ago. I came to the realisation that in his core he is authoritarian and that the like myself i didn't see that. and so we perceived him as having been one way when in fact he was another. from that i derived the terms 'the chomsky paradox' and the 'the chomsky effect'. equivalent examples are jordon peterson and naomi klein not 'wolfe' — although i think naomi wolfe has some elements of that with her insistence on biblical reclamation as the key to fixing the broken state we are in.

That............makes perfect sense and explains why nobody in media is looking into vaccine injuries.

That's why Fox News is 100% pharma ads.

If you want to know what new drugs are out there, just watch Fox News for about 10 minutes.

There's even pharma ads on streaming video services.

We were watching "Sleepy Hollow" [TV series] on Hulu. Interesting show. But the commercials were what really got me.

We don't have one of the Hulu accounts that doesn't have commercials. So, we had to watch them. And literally every single commercial was for some prescription drug.

Nearly every single drug listed, "Reduced Immune Response" as a side effect! Which I thought was really strange. One even said, "Talk to your doctor if you plan to get vaccinated."

I've seen a lot of drug commercials over the years, and I don't remember them listing reduced immune response as a  side effect.

Something really big is going on -- even outside of the whole vaccine push.
