Well, look at us, bitcointalk members wearing signatures and/or avatars advertising this or that company. Of course we are paid for that, but do we write everything to advertise the sponsor? Far from that. Check it out yourself. Let me assure you that it's possible in some cases to be paid and stay not biased at the same time. If you mean most of the journalists are biased, then I agree. I just don't like generalizations. I mean, not all bitcointalkers, even those with no ad in their signature, are good, and not all journalists, even those sponsored by corporations, are bad, or, biased, if you want.
