MSNBC and Repetitive Drug Ads

I don’t know if its MSNBC; or my Comcast ISP; but the Drug Ads are repeated at least 10 times per hour. This is not normal; and must have something to do with Trump Deregulation.
Are you all seeing the same Xelganz ads in between Rachel; and Lawrence’s shows?

It pre-dates Trump. It's not new - if anything, it was even worse when there were 20 Cialis/Viagra commercials an hour.

They talk about terrible conditions I've never heard of - and even if I had them I'd listen to what my doctor had to say rather than telling him that I want whatever Kevin Nealon is taking!

Bill Maher - who is not a fan of pharmaceutical companies - had an interesting take on the side effects announcement. He said that during that part they usually show happy people walking cute dogs or through a field of flowers - distractions.
