The more MSM I consume, the more I’m convinced it has little purpose beyond manufacturing consent in the dissemination of corporate propaganda.
When pharmacy lobbyists claimed hundreds of “small businesses” would become unviable, instead of highlighting the reduction in cost and bureaucracy, or increase in efficiency and quality of care for every Australian who does not own or work in a pharmacy, the MSM parroted the lobbyists screams of doom and gloom. They claim capitalism is about increasing cost efficiency, then do everything in their power to rent seek and price gouge.
As long as for-profit lobbying is allowed to exist, and robber barrons are allowed to own or operate the media, capitalisms erosion of society will continue.

I made note of the pharmacies that ran that propaganda with signs with scare tactics on them and refuse to use any of them.
