When Editorial Integrity is Thrown Out the Window: The Perfect Example

I said I would never post anything about Brian Gorrell (or the people involved who I don’t even know personally), but now I realize that not only is he fighting to get his money back, he is also causing media outfits to keep a watchful eye on the shady practice of getting something in return for some good PR. It’s okay if the other party gives freely as part of a collective push to boost awareness for whatever they’re promoting — but if the journalist involved BLATANTLY asks for something? Ugh.
