It's interesting to see everybody up in arms about how The Atlantic have "crossed the line" or "gone too far" because they took cash in exchange for a blatant advertorial, as though up until yesterday they were a sterling example of journalistic integrity.

you'll see they've been doing it for a while. article after article of complete self-serving bullshit from whoever's willing to pay.
I suppose the difference here is people really love to hate Scientology (with good reason, too.)
