Five Deadly Sins of Big Pharma

Written by
A pharmacist holds a package of EpiPens epinephrine auto-injector, a Mylan product, in Sacramento, Calif., last month. Mylan said it will make available a generic version of its EpiPen, as criticism mounts over the price of its injectable medicine.

National and local media is right-wing and true journalism has suffered.
