Advertisers have the right to buy advertising space. Publications can't survive without money. So I'm not advocating an all out crusade against advertising. However, we must be aware that the information brought to us is sub-ordinate to the ad. The ad is the reason.
Ads also dictate content.
Editorial decisions are made not to raise the quality of pubic discourse, but to maximize the number of viewer hits for the ad. Search donavanhall.net for specific terms or phrases.
