This strikes me as naive and wishful, bordering on ignorant. Perhaps /he/ knows how to act ethically and idealistically despite relying advertising money, but he must see how the entire remainder of the news/media industry is not able to do so. This suggestion comes at precisely the wrong time, when the ideal that media should be for a common good is utterly gone beyond lip service now and then.
