Should be required watching. Media & government do not act in your best interest and hide the truth if it suits their needs.

They know damn well that it's no longer sufficient to report just the facts, if they want ratings.

The only way they remain of any value whatsover in the eyes of gullible progressive snowflakes, is to over-sensationalize everything, *especially* if it's anti-Trump.

OR especially when it's something they've made up about Trump.

Yeah, he also claimed that the FDA kills people because the regulations are so burdensome and it should be disbanded.

So...it's not like he's the patron saint of whatever you're building him up to be.

LOL, you’re great at reading headlines. Comprehension, not so much.
Try again. AFTER you read that 2011 article. And AFTER you comprehend what it’s saying.

Here are some snippets for those too lazy:
“ Lawyers and reporters encourage bureaucrats to move slowly. If something goes wrong, the media make a huge fuss about it, and the class-action parasites pounce. But when the FDA delays a device for years and people die, we don't report that. We don't even know who the victims are.”

“Useful HIV drugs were available in Europe for years before the FDA approved them for use here.”

“ The FDA takes bribes?

"Almost," Emord explained. "If you feather the right nest, you will do well for yourself after you leave. This is well known."

This is known as "regulatory capture." A regulator makes it tough for some company's competitor and then gets a job with the first company when he leaves his government job.”

“ A doctor at the Cleveland Clinic invented a medical app that helped physicians calibrate the amount of radiation to give to women with breast cancer. The FDA demanded so much extra and expensive proof of its safety that he abandoned it. The FDA's caution leads many companies to just give up on potentially lifesaving ideas.”

You proved the point of the meme itself.
