The TV is on as background noise as I'm typing here, and in the last 20 minutes....

..... I've heard 3 commercials touting pharmaceutical products and 4 from local hospitals/health care providers/private practice doctors.

NO WONDER the MSM is so antagonistic toward single-payer. They'd do broke without the Healthcare-Industrial complex.

1. I just saw a car ad, a network TV ad, and back to the show...! nt

[KamaAina]

2. Most evening news shows, CBS in particular, are pretty much brough to you by Big Pharma

of course, I can only watch CBS News on the weekends now, due to my violent allergy to Katie Couric. :eyes:

3. They like it when you pay your cable bill too.

4. What a racket

They have a captive audience. We're all going to have health issues at some point. And the pharmceutical companies are killing us with their drugs. Half of their ads are disclaimers.

5. True......

*Side effects may include heart heart attacks, strokes, severe digestive problems, suicidal tendencies, heart disease, bipolar disorders, burning green pee, blindness etc etc etc

[monmouth]

6. I always laugh right out loud when I hear them listed..Egads! The one

ad for Viagra, I mean good grief, the side effects alone would be discouraging, no?

[nevergiveup]

7. I mentioned this the other night.

MSNBC seems to be the worst of them all. If you are having memory problems, HBP, prostate problems, breathing difficulties, erection concerns, cholesterol readings above 50 or whatever you can take these amazing pharmaceuticals advertised by MSNBC and you will likely then be faced with possible diarrhea, dizziness, lightheadedness, constipation, sudden gasping for air, seizures, rashes, crooked penises and basic cognitive disconnect. I hate all these ads and thank God for spellcheck.
