Eh! Don't all news corporations depend on advertising revenue? are all of them unethical?



Tell me honestly what you think of the quality and independence of news today? Why are Nielsen Ratings so important? Is news driven more by journalistic principles and pursuit of the truth, or by the profit motive?

If the truth is oxygen of democracy, then journalism is the lifeblood and distorting the truth for increased revenue is unethical.
