More disappointment from the Sydney Morning Herald

The once proud masthead of the Sydney Morning Herald was degraded a little bit more last Thursday.

Not much needs to be said; suffice to say there doesn’t seem to be the same divide between church and state (editorial and advertising) that there once was.

Back in the day, there’d be no way the lead article in the newspaper would match exactly the massive ad campaign also running.

Even if the lead article as determined by the editors happened to match the site sponsor, they wouldn’t have run it to avoid the perception that there was an editorial conflict.

Not anymore.
