Um...
OK. I hate to break this too you, but newspapers haven't had shit to do with the truth since ownership rules relaxed enough to turn them into propaganda tools for whatever rich asshole with old money buys. Newspapers are mostly against the truth. When they do report whats true (about things the old money rulers don't care about), it's only so they can lie later, when the money does care.
And there is a special place in hell for the scum fucks who set up pharmaceutical pricing and patenting schemes where AIDS patients all over the world are dying because they can't get access to medications factories in their own countries could make.
And most work in pharmaceuticals is in reformulating drugs where the patent is about to expire and manipulating studies to claim a slight benefit over the previous generation, and then aggressively advertising it to consumers who are completely uneducated about medications while unethically pushing doctors to use it.
Those are really really bad examples of corporations that do noble work.
