Hi,
I'm not on Twitter and don't know how to pose my questions. Considering this is a live blog, can someone get my question across?
- Although the media is a business and money is important, shouldn't media organisations exercise some amount of bias in who advertises with them, especially if the organisation has, on a previous occasion been blackmarked by the media? An ex.- dubious education institutes that have been involved in reported scandals advertising with major media.

Question will be posted to dignitaries and we'll get back to you.
