You think media organizations aren’t trying to push a particular narrative? They’ve been doing this since yellow journalism, Hearst and Pulitzer over a hundred years ago. Every side of the political spectrum does this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times_controver... > When you see people advancing this point of view... This is an ad hominem and not an argument. |

It's undeniable that there are biases and preferences in journalism, and that there's no such thing as a truly objective point of view. Journalism is made by humans.
But that's a fundamentally different argument than equating advertising with journalism. They aren't the same. Fact-checked reported journalism that attempts to be objective is fundamentally a different thing.
And it's also a factual statement to say that there is an organized effort to obscure this difference, and that this effort benefits specific groups.
