The Influence of Big Pharma on Media Companies

This chapter discusses the influence of big pharma companies on media companies and the need for media companies to accept sponsorships in order to sustain themselves. They draw a parallel to podcasters or YouTubers who have to accept any sponsorship offers to pay their bills. They also touch upon the issue of COVID-related censorship and the role of government and big businesses in stifling dissent. They emphasize the importance of competition to prevent media companies from being effectively tethered to a single industry.
