Is this even a surprise to anyone? Did they buy ad space or did they pay for editorial? Paying for editorial coverage is a violation of all journalistic ethics and would be difficult as it would leave a paper trail. If they purchased ad space for their vaccine PSA propoganda - that is just business as usual. I spent 30 years as an ad sales executive at large TV networks and newspapers. When the government comes in with PSA money you take as much as you can! They have to pay rate card rates and you can make your quarterly numbers with just one of these buys. Over the years I took dozens of these windfalls - nothing as sinister as the covid jabs - but then again - I trusted the mainstream narratives during that period of my life. All I am saying is that the sales exec that turns down a $100k advertising buy that comes out of nowhere is an idiot. Your boss would override your decision - media is in serious financial distress and they will take any money offered to them.
