MSNBC MELTDOWN After Big Pharma Pulls Funding
(00:01.45)
that escalated quickly to quote Ron Burgundy. Yeah. Media crack up and Big Pharma Comcast is going to move forward with a plan to spin off its NBC Universal Cable TV networks. it’s going to separate MSNBC CNBC.
USA, Oxygen, E, Syfy, and The Golf Channel. Yeah. They’re keeping Bravo though. They’re keeping the real housewives. And they’re going, I’m going to see who ends up getting involved with this after the fact and expect more of this to happen. Why are you going to expect more of this to happen?
across other networks. Well, God willing, Robert F. Kennedy gets his job and puts a kibosh on big pharma spending. The numbers are incredible. Incredible. The amount of money that is spent, again, blow your mind.
Pharma TV ad spend. Okay, this is for 2023. Comcast, over a billion dollars, got in Pharma ads. Paramount, over a billion dollars. Disney, 900 million. Warner Brothers Discovery, 868 million. Fox, 369 million. A &E, 263 million. I can go on down the line for crying out loud. I mean, 1.3.
billion in spending. Glaxo Smith Klein spent 736 million. Pfizer spent 502 million. I go right on down the list. This is all ad spends by Big Pharma. What is this going to do to all of these cable networks? Again, what is it going to do to the dynamic in regards to even sports? Watch a football game on a Sunday. A lot of that ad spend.
(02:29.966)
Pharma. And I thought about it a little bit. Again, we’ve covered advertising and buying good news coverage and how it’s done. And I’m curious. I’m curious to see where they run all these ads and they’re, some of them are annoying as hell.
annoying as hell long ass ads with people frolicking around after taking their wonder drug for crying out loud. It’s just it’s bloody annoying as far as I’m concerned. But anyway, not neither here nor there. Do people actually watch this stuff and say, I’m going to I want that drug today to have their doctor on speed dial and then call them up and say, hey, Doc, I want this drug that I saw on TV.
And I’m curious to see if doctors would be like, OK, sure. You want that drug? I’ll give it to you. I’ll prescribe it to you. I don’t know. I don’t know. What I do know, if actually think about it, is maybe there’s an ulterior motive here. I know. Going all conspiracy theory on here. Maybe there’s an ulterior motive for all of this ad spending.
Yeah, as the major news networks are, you ever see them investigate these pharmaceutical companies or look into, you know, what they’re up to or the drugs they’re prescribing or some of the side effects. Again, you can find it. You can find all this information. Again, I stopped. I stopped doing the COVID vaccine stuff here on the program because it’s just gonna, it’s unhealthy for me.
It really is. I have to stop covering this. It’s so aggravating. More and more studies coming out. All of the terrible things. How these companies got out of jail scot free. I’m not saying that you only you have to really look around. None of the major networks cover any of this stuff. None. Fox included. You think it might have something to do with the fact that they’re getting nice checks written to them by these pharmaceutical companies? No, no.
(04:43.39)
couldn’t be. Yeah, it could be. Yeah, it could be. Big, ad buys, will buy you good editorial coverage. Period. The end.
that will buy you good editorial coverage.
We know this, we’ve covered this here on the program when it comes to the two big to fail banks. What do you think? It’s any different for Big Pharma? Anyway, again, it’s gonna be interesting moving forward. It really is what’s going to happen with these media outlets. What’s going to happen? What’s gonna happen if they lose this massive revenue stream coming from the pharmaceutical industry? Quite frankly, quite frankly,
Why you’re at it? Why you’re at it? Why don’t you? Again, I understand beer and wine to some degree, but the hard alcohol ads, I remember back then weren’t legal either. Anyway, Watchdog on wallstreet.com.
