Is there any way to find the facts, let's say Pfizer? 10 Billion, 20 Billion or even 50 Billion? How much is paid to our TV Media by this one company? Because that is alot of influence to have the media say what you want or hold back something they don't want us to know. I mean, how is that legal? Freedom of the press should not be paid (bribed) to tell a narrative which would in turn hurt/harm the public. That is unless it is proof of being owned by the state (Communist).
I assume an investigative reporter type, paired with some sort of forensic accountant could theoretically work things out to a reasonable level, especially with publicly traded companies.
But being able to do so so in theory, and in practice are different, so I'm skeptical
It is actually amazing what you can find online. It is as if they want to rub it in our noses, so the info is out there if we dig.
