- Two stories on my local news about ritalin (from KOTV
6 in Tulsa ).....
-
- Here is a brief description...the first aired about 1
month ago
- ...the second about 2 weeks ago.
-
- 1st Story
-
- Had pics of fat people, bodies, and pills ... The local
voiceover discussed how ritalin MIGHT be used as a 'weight loss' drug...no
studies, or expert opinions given... it was just noted that ritalin accelerates
metabolism.
-
- 2nd Story
-
- With about the same imagery as above...the local voiceover
discussed a study linking adult attention disorder to weight loss failure
compared to people without the condition.
-
- I used to work indirectly for a PR firm .. so I know
what/why some stories get on local news.. these were PR stories.)
-
- It is my hope that by telling you this, you may be able
to do something with it, or pass it along to another watchdog who can
:). I don't have access to the news stories in question, but im fairly
sure they ran in several markets across the country... KOTV 6 in Tulsa
is where I saw the stories, so finding information on the spots should
not be difficult (I did check on kotv's website.. they had no info, but
that's not the only place you can verify)
-
- IT LOOKS LIKE THE RITALIN MAKERS ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW
MARKET!
