The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry
[Medical profession],not only in terms of the practice of medicine, but also in terms of teaching and research.
The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry.
That still doesn't demonstrate that the numerous statements made were of facts:
The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, that's a statement of facts, not opinion. Opinion doesn't state lucy buys a candybar. Opinion states, lucy buys a candybar because ...
Opinion doesn't state facts, or it is no longer opinion. It's a fact.
Yes we get it, those are all opinion, it's not a statement of fact when someone says something to the effect "such and such is being bought by such and such."
So what if he's making a declarative statement, it was a statement of fact, not of opinion. Sally goes to the store, Sally buys a candybar, The pharmaceutical industry is buying the medical profession, statement of fact, not of opinion.
