So I figured out why Barry was so intent on obfuscating the pain pts’ complaints about his reporting: he’s a niche investigative journalist that covers big class-action litigation, seemingly erring on the side of plaintiffs, which includes billion $ firms. #LitigationNarrative

Also really interesting afa #BarryMeier and his relationship with the prosecutor in the 2007 Purdue case. https://t.co/SlfSdCjSXEstatnews.com/2018/06/06/oxy…

Roughly a year before Meier was tipped off about Oxycontin’s marketing issues, Barry wrote this strange little bit about Ron Motley Esq, who won big with the tobacco litigation, & went on to hire PROP member(s) as expert witnesses for opioid litigation. https://t.co/c7Z78XZXvNnytimes.com/1999/11/14/bus…

You may wonder why I research the researchers and reporters so thoroughly. We could compare it to witness tampering in a way, as the main and essential part of mass tort litigation is public pressure on companies to settle for huge sums. They don’t want to go to trial.

This means there are major opportunities for corruption when billions are on the line, esp when govt, (including law enforcement), is the recipient. Who creates the evidence used to counter the companies’? Who whips up rage from the public? MEDIA.
