If I'm allowed to parenthetically assume that the shilling also is "largely inconsequential", then yes, it causes less harm.
- Alex3917 14y agoIf you actually look at the quotes made up by most of these journalists, they are mostly things about the weather that day and the color of the house or whatever. Look at the actual quotes from the Jason Blaire scandal, it's all completely trivial stuff. On the other hand, it's hard to argue that cigarettes aren't actually dangerous, since they kill around 500,000 Americans per year.
