CBS Evening News with Dan Rather (1981)
Prime time medicine?
The CBS evening news is an exemplary platform for informative news reporting. The journalistic integrity of the anchors has been a key ingredient through the years. It is somewhat laughable to have such an excellent platform marred by the unseemly and relentless pharmaceutical advertising that punctuates this program. Is America so drugged out that we must discuss personal medical conditions on prime time? Can we not leave this topic in a doctor's office? Many of the ads repeat several times in a half hour. Yes, there is help out there for critical lifestyle issues and yes, we (all) who eventually suffer from one or the other will hopefully find that help. Perhaps the MadMen money could be put to better use in our already stressed medical system
