@TEGNA news stations @WGRZ @9NEWS @KHOU @KING5Seattle @ABC10 and @FOX61News have no problem whatsoever covering @pfizer vaccine news without informing their audience of the fact a Pfizer Executive sits on the TEGNA Board of Directors.
All stations ran positive segments on the news of a possible FDA EUA for a 3-dose Pfizer vaccination for children under 5.
All stations included images of children being vaccinated, some clearly very uncomfortable children.
The @TEGNA stations had no problem quoting from Pfizer press releases in their coverage:
The stations all had the same exact format for these segments. Voice overs over film and photos of children getting vaccinated, and video from a Pfizer manufacturing facility
Every segment follows the same format. Film of the product and film of the ritual, vaccinating the children. All positive coverage, “great news.”
Who curates Pfizer segments for @TEGNA? @WGRZ?
Why do segments appear to advertise the vaccine? A vaccine that isn’t approved for children under 5.
Why are news outlets acting as advertisers for the COVID vaccine?
@ChrisCPandolfo recently uncovered an illicit #CovidVaccine advertising campaign funded by the federal government and broadcasted by the MSM.
Which category of advertisements do these segments fall into?
