Ok. Fair enough. But how can you be certain where you do source your info from isn't influenced by advertisers?

Long to short, we are what we consume. Unless you grew up in a Skinner Box and have since kept your mind in a (metaphorical) Feraday Cage, it's hard to imagine you haven't been influenced in some way, at some time; and likely without even being conscious of it.
