I don't like the idea of running with sponsor's ads to be honest. I
think it potentially compromises our integrity as a news source. I'm not
dead set against it however, so if everyone else feels I'm being foolish
then speak out. I just don't like the implicit pressure that would come
with that. It's what has managed to destroy an otherwise free press in
many countries.
