No response. Appears the “watchdog” is against Big Pharma spending money on lobbying. Wonder if that includes taxpayer-funded universities, taxpayer-funded colleges of journalism, and TV station owners?

Weak, ineffectual and valueless, IMO.

Stick to neurosurgery, I am sure you are quite good at that. It is about time that we speak out on poor medical news reporting.

The biggest offender in my opinion is CNN’s Sanjay Gupta, a neurosurgeon who thinks good looks and a nice smile enable him to be an expert on everything.

His coverage of bird flu and the airplane tb scare are only 2 examples of his directly feeding into public hysteria.

Shame on you Sanjay. Stick to neurosurgery, I am sure you are quite good at that.
