Deceptive Ads of 2021
We live in the Golden Age of False Advertising . Since -in general -the CAPITALIST SYSTEM is based on lies and brutality - we would be foolish to EXPECT truth in advertising. I notice how local talk radio celebs ( here in Rhode Island 630 WPRO ) do not just present commercials anymore . They slobber over the sponsors. I texted this comment to them : "Slobbering over your sponsors for long minutes on the air can only undermine your credibility as HUMAN beings." Of course ,THAT text never got quoted during a program .
Above all , PRESCRIPTION DRUG ADVERTISING should be banned on TV. Those puked out on TV news ( here channels 10, 12 , and 6 ) are especially insane and pernicious. The message is always " See your doctor ! " Yes, how very impressed he will be with his TV watching zombie patients !
