"Pushing a particular narrative" or generally having a point of view is not the same thing as advertising.

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.
