RFK has lost the WSJ

Listened to Erick Erickson today. He listed a ton of crazy ideas RFKj has. Climate change deniers should be jailed, NRA is a terrorist organization and a whole bunch of other things.
Why are we even talking about him?

For some reason Rs like Ds who are no longer Ds. See RFKj and Tulsi. No matter if they are batshit crazy….and the Ds hate them because they no longer drink the. Koolaid.

Erick Erickson had vus own share of crazy ideas, and if he had it his way the GOP would still be impotent.

RFK has had his kookie moments, but MAHA was a factor in Trump growing his coalition. Voting against him is just a rejection of the election.
 
Math 101.

WSJ owned by News Corp
News Corp owns Fox
Guess what the #1 industry spend on advertising is for Fox?
$Pharma

Yawn. The WSJ lost me 5 years ago and the opinion of an editorial board in 2025 is worth what exactly?
Where are you getting this information about “big pharma” spending?

I'm in favor of MAHA.

Information?……LOL……..every other TV commercial is for some drug. Often times for conditions I’ve never heard of. Yeah “ask your doctor about this medication with possible side effects to include death to clear up that bothersome rash”. Do you watch TV? It’s freaking ridiculous with all of the ads.

Yeah Big Pharma is running scared. Gotta be a pill to fix everything these days. “And this pill I’m taking because I’m 75 pounds overweight is so great it has me and half the town dancing in the streets”. . LOL……

Yes, I do watch TV. No that’s not confirmation that they’re the biggest spenders. It’s been about 10 minutes googling it and it seems like the biggest spenders are leisure companies. If you have some data that says, otherwise, please share it.

Not on Fox. Fox is mainly the My Pillow dork and Balance of Nature veggie supplements.

Now, Hulu on the other hand , wouldnt exist without Big Pharma ads. They are non stop.

No, wrong assumption. The WSJ, though the financial writers mostly are conservatives, the editorial writers are worse than the NYT and extremely liberal

Does it really matter if they are #1 or #5? The point is they spend massive amounts of money advertising in every media type and donate to almost every politician. They have massive influence over the likes of Fox News, the MSM and congress as well.

They were not in the top 5. And yes, facts and accuracy matter. Always have.

He did say he would help stop all of the drug advertising on tv. And boy I am for that!

Was true 25 years ago but no longer. The editorial page is conservative but the other 99% is staffed like The NY Times. I got tired of their climate cult BS 20 years ago.
Editors deciding not to piss of the source of their ad revenue is a business decision; not a political one.

Something I noticed. Drug companies like Pfizer and J&J, don't have their numbers reported the same way as State Farm, Proctor & Gamble, Amazon and other large players.

I don't know who is doing it, but you will find the major drug companies listed, and the largest ad budget drugs listed separately. I wonder how the list of top spenders would change if Pfizer and all its drugs were reported as one entity.

I just canceled my sub, the paper was ridiculously liberal. I guess it was the feature writers
 
I see. I think the comment said that WSJ had lots of pharma advertising. Fox News too. I don’t see that in this article, although yes drug ads are veg common.

Personally, I love the fact that they are but that’s just me. We found out about a medicine for my son because it was advertised in a magazine for his medical condition. Very helpful.
 
Well, I have a friend that used to put chickens in a big industrial blender to determine the optimal feed and protein rate. Side note, He developed a lighting schedule that doubled egg production, snd thereby crashed the egg market. He was drummed out of the poultry business (he was an auburn man.) Point being that some people have weak stomachs and think their food just shows up at Publix, and some people hunt and fish, and farm, etc and know where their food really comes from.
