Someone was complaining in the past about Last Week Tonight giving only superficial coverage of The Issues and viewers maintaining entertained ignorance. In this case, there's an excellent book summarizing all of the present (2012) issues in the pharmaceutical industry: Bad Pharma. It covers everything from the (many) shortcomings of ClinicalTrials.gov to the (many) ways that pharmaceutical companies influence doctors past just straight up giving them money / gifts / foods.
