Oh that's absolute bull****. I'm sure this comes from the same school of thought that has you believe Obama is a foreign terrorist. News agencies need to make money the same as any other business. A huge chunk of revenue comes from advertisers. It has no effect whatsoever on what is reported on or how. The editor makes those decisions completely separately from the advertisers, it's not even in the same department as the editorial department.
Yes, I do think it's pure idiocy, just as I think everything typed in that f*cking font of yours is pure idiocy.
