this is an advertisement
Those people in India will do anything for money. Even politics!
So it seems we are ethically superior to India in false news stories because we put tiny little “this is an advertisement” labels on full page ads that are designed not to look like ads.
I read real newspapers everyday and they are bad but not as bad as what happened to magazines as the internet grew. I can page through them having no idea what is content and what is an advertisement. My eyes and brain search the entire two visible pages to figure out was is real and what is crap. I usually find it is all crap. Well in the magazines that magically appear on my coffee table anyway.
