Can 60 Minutes Just Calm Down With The Meds Ads?

I was watching 60 minutes last sunday and i noticed something about the show that was bothering me again. It's the same thing that bothers me about 60 minutes every time i watch the show. When they go into their commercial breaks it amazes me how many of the ads that appear on the show are ads for medications from the pharmaceutical industry. I mean its incredible. Ad after ad. Talk to your doctor abour Enbrel, Viva Viagra, Ask your doctor about Clarion, Talk to your doctor about Symbicort, and on and on and on. I mean its like your being attacked. 60 minutes has got to stop being such a whore for the pharmaceutical industry. I mean for the sake of their own integrity they have to stop it really. They have to stop being part of the problem. They cant keep being this crusading news magazine that exposes other people and organizations when they are doing things wrong and then go into commercials that pitch med after med after med to people all the time in a neverending way. Its two faced.
