Monday, July 4th, 2005

There is no such thing as "investigative journalism" on US network television anymore. In fact, it's hard to find real news, at all, on the networks. "TV news" is all hype - every bit of it - and it is designed to promote the interests of those that write the checks for advertising. Nothing else.

The single largest group of advertisers during the news hours, I've noticed, is "Big Pharma." Roughly fifty percent (50%) of all advertising, during the news hours, comes from the pharmaceutical industry.

And it's paying off, handsomely, for them - but not for America...
