To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted so as to be most useful, I should answer, 'by restraining it to true facts and sound principles only.' Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more completely deprive the nation of its benefits, than is done by its abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. I will add that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false.

Axovant was spun off from Roivant. He spun out a bunch of ----vant companies, and they'd each deal with a single or a few specialty drugs. Yeah, he bought the drug Axovant was working on from GlaxoSmithKline for $5million, because they'd given up on it. Their big bet was on a trial with this drug in tandem with another getting some synergy, as it worked on acetylcholine receptors, but, compared to placebo, the drug as an add-on wasn't effective.
Sure, journos should write up on it. Vivek sheared him some sheep! There's no intelligible reason why people dumped so much money into the IPO he brought out as Axovant. They were venture capitalists making a bet on a company, and the company failed to produce, so they lost money. The story, as far as I can tell, is about greed fueled pharma investments, because the return on investment in that industry is absurd, possibly unmatched in some instances.
