Sanjay Gupta: MSM shill or decent medical reporter?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

He's not as bad as some, I put him at 50/50.

1. It seems to me...

You're either a media shill or you ain't.

[karlrschneider]

3. It's pretty bad when the media (which usually IS the shill) needs one.

:eyes:

[trumad]

2. I posted a video of the dude he did earlier about Sicko

and it was a pretty good report. My thinking is he got orders from above to go after Mike in this new report and he did.... So, he sold his soul to the devil.

[karlrschneider]

4. Ooo....which dude did he do?

:evilgrin:

[monktonman]

5. If he wasnt a shill, he wouldnt have a job

[johnfunk]

6. Why do you think they call him Dr. Sanjay PhRMA?

n/t

[NNN0LHI]

7. I was calling him a shill long before Sicko and Michael Moore

He was using his medical "expertise" to stir up bird flu fear a few years ago. I called him on his BS in an email but never received a response back from the quack.

19. Yep

Me too.

8. When your paycheck comes from the pharmaceuticals, HMO's, etc,

by way of the ads on CNN, I would say 100 % MSM shill, bought and paid-for in big bucks. Any dedicated doctor I know cares too much about their patients to take "time-out" to be a "medical reporter". What the hell is a "medical reporter" anyway????

10. I thought it funny that the segment was sponsored by Lipitor. n/t

[Spazito]

14. LOL, I didn't watch CNN, only the YouTube clip but I did see

the Gupta hit piece on Sicko earlier, just after Sicko came out I believe.

CNN fact checks Michael Moore's Sicko, brought to you by Lipitor--------------Unbelievable!

:rofl:

[NaturalHigh]

9. I voted 0% shill...

based on my limited number of times seeing him. I really don't watch CNN much, but I've found the few clips that I've seen of him fairly informative. I've never actually seen him endorse a certain product or even mention a particular brand or company. Again, though, I've never seen anything but the little 60-second clips of him that they occasionally show.

11. What you thought was information weas actually propaganda

The best propaganda appears to be merely information.

That's why he's a highly credentialed fucking SHHIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

12. Other.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta can doctor on me anytime. :evilgrin:

15. 100% shill, michael moore just told us that while in the shitroom with leslie blitzer

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. I vote MSM shill, and it doesn't matter to me what % he is, only that he is!

[emilyg]

17. A little of both. Mostly out for his own $$$

[xchrom]

18. CNN wants to make gupta the issue.

may i suggest two things.

1} let them -- i've written to cnn complaining about gupta doing a hit piece on moore's film without asking michael directly about it -- and wrote to confirm from personal experience that medical care abroad is really good.

2} i've also written to cnn complaining about the state of medical care in this country -- i have ttwo seperate cases -- A} i care for my elderly folks{dad has passed} and B} my own experiences.

gupta simply offers another avenue of attacking cnn for their bias -- and gupta wears his on sleeve.
