Was any content ever 'pure'? Newspapers always relied on ad revenue, and there was always the potential for a conflict of interest there. Whether it's internet sites or papers or TV news shows, they can't afford to annoy their advertisers too much. The only ways to avoid this are either: A: Go with publically/government funded content, which will likely have a government bias (or one that encourages people to pay for them). B: Go with free fan/volunteer run sources which don't have monetary interests, and that's becoming rarer and rarer nowadays.
