France's LEEM attacks Le Monde op-ed bias

28 May 2009

France's research-based pharmaceutical association, the LEEM, has vigorously attacked the authors of an opinion-editorial article  published in Le Monde for their willingness to "misrepresent yet again  the reality of the pharmaceutical industry's position" on information to  patients.

The article that provoked the LEEM's reaction appeared in Le Monde's May  29 edition and was signed by Alain Bazot, the president of UFC-Que  choisir (a consumer activist group), Jean-Pierre Davant, president of  Mutualite Francaise (the French mutual health care funds federation) and  Bruno Toussaint, editorial director of the Prescrire newsletter.
