Shifty Pony posted:ExpressScripts and Caremark both released their 2017 excluded medications lists shortly before the EpiPen thing blew up. EpiPen wasn't excluded from either but that might have been a catalyst for "hey random old medications are getting expensive quickly" and the EpiPen was an extremely well know example. Prior to a recent law, parents would buy I think (and don't quote me on this) three pens: one for school, one for travel, and one for home. The school one was generally kept in the health room. Obama signed a law within the last couple of years authorizing schools to keep a communal pen, in case a kid has a severe reaction to an unknown allergy, they need a backup in case the student's normal pen has been used, and other reasons.

IT'S SIMPLE SUPPLY AND DEMAND LIBTARDS. Ok, don't get me wrong here, I'm not surprised prices went up. Demand did increase, supply had to catch up, they go up, but now is the point where, you know, they generally go down that the supply is there. But lolnope. Gods I hate libertarians nearly as much as republicans. And now that line isn't so clear either.

Ice Phisherman posted:I think what annoys me most about NPR is the problem I have with the rest of the media. They're becoming increasingly less watched while becoming more and more relevant since almost all news filters down from them. They seem unable to call Trump reprehensible for his racism and misogyny, incompetent for his total lack of vision or policies, dangerous because he's mentally unfit or a liar because he lies at an astounding rate. Hillary isn't the greatest, but she's competent. You know what you're getting from her. No one has any idea what a Trump presidency would look like. Probably not even Trump. The media refuses to take any sides and has totally ceded their credibility because they can't take a position that isn't somewhere in the middle. So people who aren't political junkies look at the news and don't know what to think because you have an anchor asking questions of two people with differing opinions and lately those opinions have been increasingly awful, then the media at large tries to find an opinion between either one or two awful opinions. And all that lies between the spectrum of two awful opinions is that the "truth" is awful too because they're taking that bullshit seriously, but in the middle of course. NPR is in a tough spot. GOP controlled congress threatens to pull the plug from time to time, so it's sadly a feature, not a bug. Also this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPR_controversies#Ronald_Schiller

Night10194 posted:I admit I'm starting to worry some about Kellyanne Conway. She seems to be the smartest campaign staffer Trump has gotten so far and seems to be able to keep him on script so far, insane as the script is, at a time when expectations are so low that him not making GBS threads himself in any appearance is touted as brilliance. The thing about this is it'll raise his expectations for the debates, and the less likely he gets a free pass from the first debate, the better.

Night10194 posted:My fear is that Trump's current team knows no-one is really paying attention to his rallies and so if they can keep these stunts in the media, he can still give his insane Nuremberg speeches and rallies as a nice treat so that he won't go off message during the 'outreach' events. The media won't, but Hillary will definitely make sure people know. It also didn't help that certain parts of the media screwed the pooch with his anti-immigration speech (looking at you, NYT and WSJ)

Radish posted:I think this is what's really starting to piss me off at this point. Trump doesn't need to fund raise for television spots since pretty much the entire media is running the negative ads on Clinton that normally a candidate would be spending money on, many of which are blatantly false. Noted ultra liberal socialist NPR is more or less ignoring the fact that a white supremacist is running the Trump campaign while praising that guy's ability to get Trump in a room with black people and not exploding or kicking them out of their homes. I hate to do this, /again/, but NPR's republican slant is because a republican controlled congress repeatedly threatens to pull the plug on them if they get too far left. It's a feature, not a bug, and one put in to save their own rear end because the GOP can't have any government funded institution be against them ever.

Here's my question: One candidate openly insults the press, the other ignores them, but doesn't insult them. Why the gently caress do they treat them the same outside of "horserace"? e: Jeff Flake (AZ Senator) refuses to endorse and says he will not vote Trump: https://twitter.com/jdelreal/status/772427737822797824

Dr.Zeppelin posted:a) the media isn't actually as liberal as people pretend it is This is what I don't get, personally. While I could be wrong and this changed, usually the press pool of the winning candidate for president ends up in the White House press pool for the duration of their term, so wouldn't it be in their best interests to push good stories?  (what am I saying, they want short term profit, not long)And you'd think with E they'd finally get sick of all the wolf calls.
