What a shock. Magazines are influenced by what their advertisers want. I am so surprised. (That's sarcasm, by the way.)
You might say, sure Tom but this is just an enthusiast magazine, it's not a serious news source. Well, I happen to believe that we have to evaluate the credibility of ALL of our news sources. This is just a rare glimpse into how these decisions are really made. I don't believe it is unique to magazines.
