If you think all of the news orgs you just listed have a particular slant, then you'll have a problem. If you don't see a slant because you honestly believe they are neutral or you just happen to agree with them, then of course there's no problem to see.

I'm not saying any of those have a slant or not. I'm just seeing how it's pretty obvious there's going to be public perception problem with your list

I mean, obviously all of them have slants. I am saying that generally well respected media organizations exist right now without depending on ads, and I don't see what ads-supported media organizations add over that, except variety. Opposing slants are also represented: Xinhua News and Russia Today will survive without ads. I just didn't list them because they are less respected.
