“The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, 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. I think it’s disgraceful.”

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.
