There are many reasons why the Murdochs moved to sack their leading news star Tucker Carlson, ranging from the exposure of the January 6 peaceful protests, showing footage of how the police escorted protesters into the Capitol building, to his more recent exposure of Big Pharma’s manipulation of the media. “Sometimes you wonder just how filthy and dishonest our news media are,” Carlson started. “Ask yourself, is any news organization you know of so corrupt that it’s willing to hurt you on behalf of its biggest advertisers?” And, given the extensive ownership that Big Pharma has of all media outlets, we should not be surprised. It is a massive conflict of journalistic integrity to have major players having a massive influence, if not ruling influence, upon public policy, having such a vast control over the media. The Tucker Carlson sacking shows this most clearly. Brownstone, with its usual in-depth journalism, runs to ground the extent of this involvement, with the usual suspects. The financial interest of Big Pharma on the media is an ever-present problem, as the Covid mandates showed. It will require legislative reform, and a long battle to achieve that.
