Tabitha M. Powledge reviews John Oliver's take on the problem of prescription painkiller abuse and Big Pharma's role: "This time his topic was the opioid epidemic and its accompanying thousands of deaths. Which he laid at the feet of drug companies, especially Purdue Pharma, maker of the hugely successful opiate, OxyContin." Also, the sorry state elsewhere of television health news reporting, as evidenced by the latest evaluations at the HealthNewsReview.org website.
