CNN medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen presents a segment analyzing a decline in COVID-19 vaccine television advertisements. The hosts interpret this as a blatant sales pitch to Big Pharma, encouraging companies to buy more airtime on CNN. The segment highlights data from iSpot and the Kaiser Family Foundation suggesting that future ad campaigns should specifically target Republicans to be effective.

The hosts analyze news segments from CBS and PBS, accusing reporters of promoting sexist tropes that portray male sexuality as simplistic and mechanical while framing female desire as complex and emotional. They dispute the comparison between Viagra, which addresses blood flow, and Addyi, which alters brain chemistry. The discussion suggests the drug functions more as a sedative than a libido enhancer.

CNN's senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen is criticized for her report on TSA full-body scanners. Cohen used the term "teeny weeny weeny" to describe the amount of radiation passengers receive from the machines. The hosts argue that the researchers cited in the report never actually tested the machines, relying instead on manufacturer data.
