>Advertisers don't like any controversies so they threaten the platforms to pull their money, platforms establish measures to please the advertisers. Advertisers love controversy if they think it will help them sell stuff and don't like it if they think it will alienate their customers, it depends on who the companies cater too. I think you (and Greenwald) are giving journalists too much credit. They generally write what they think their readers want, advertisers react based on what they think is best for their bottom line.
