I don't know how it is with drug advertising in the UK, but here in the US we have a huge problem in that all our major news channels are supported in large part by Big Pharma dollars. So they wouldn't dare promote anything overly negative about Big Pharma since it could cut into their profits.

I believe I read that US and New Zealand are the only countries that advertise for big Pharma. It's not allowed in every other country.
There's plenty of ways round that. In the UK Big Pharma sponsors/funds a lot of universities and medical schools to get their message across and GPs are bribed in all sorts of ways to prescribe their products. This has been going on for decades. Loads of GPs check on their computer now during consultations and you can bet the sites they are looking at are backed by Big Pharma. The infiltration is insidious.
Can pharma surrogates advertise, like the B&MG Foundation?
TV advertising: They are also normalizing myocarditis in children.
