The first sentence and first paragraph of the article says
>This week, a pharmaceutical trade group stepped up its efforts to distance itself from Martin Shkreli, the disgraced ex-CEO of several drug companies who gained notoriety for an eye-popping drug price increase and an indictment for securities fraud. The trade group even made a television ad to try to bolster its image and make clear that it is different—better—than the likes of Shkreli and his greedy ways.
- BoorishBears 10y agoI read that, but I was expecting something (new) that disgraced to be an event focused by the article since the events mentioned in that sentence have already happened. While those events could cause someone to be disgraced, he hasn't seemed disgraced in the slightest.
- Vampires123432 10y agoIt's a shill article pumping a false narrative. Hacker News is part of the problem. The headline should read "Martin Shkreli launches website to shame pharma..." The whole "disgraced" thing is a disingenuous slam to send the reader into the link with a predisposed mindset. The same type of play on confirmation bias that Trump employs.
