So you are replacing state benevolence with the advertising industry's benevolence :).
If the news/media organizations cannot survive and profit without either help, then shouldn't they be allowed to wither ? Instead of imposing this garbage on everyone, young ones included. Or do we consider them an essential industry now ?
BTW, that news is important is also a "need" created by advertising, so that, .... they can show more ads :).

I've said enough about why I believe advertising is a net positive, so I'm not gonna retread that part. But question the value of "the 5th estate" to society? That's a whole other level.
