What is the reliance of the "corporate news media" on "Big Pharma paymasters"? Lets do the numbers....

Media advertising spending in the United States 240.68 B$
Pharmaceutical direct to consumer advertising 2.63 B$

Percentage is 1.1%

Not much of a paymaster.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
