The irony is that reporters themselves are driven by advertising pressure. I'm fond of saying that "any premise that can attract eyeballs will eventually appear as an article on an ad-revenue-driven website".

That law is not absolute since reporter's value is ostensibly tied to their reputation and credibility.
