Am I joking. No, not really when you understand the latest piece of propaganda masquerading as journalism. Let me explain.
I’ve mentioned before that the Irish Times have run ads by Pfizer on their FB page
Their latest offering is an article entitled
“Patent waiver will not solve key challenges in ramping up Covid global vaccination”
This piece was written by Karen O Keefe. I just thought she was a regular journalist on the beat writing some puff piece. I then got to the bottom of the article and read this.
Karen O’Keeffe is director of policy and public affairs at Pfizer Ireland.
This was deliberately concealed at the bottom when it should be front and centre.
The media are out of control. This is a combination of Pravda journalism along with corporate interests and lobbying.
May you feel more free on here to speak your mind and present your marvellous threads as substacks instead 💪🏻🙏🏻
The corporate media really are out of control now.
Here we have what is effectively a press release from a sponsor, masquerading as "journalism" in the Irish paper of record.
Ethics?
What were those?
