a critical lack of objectivity

there was a news flash on the bbc as i was driving into work this morning that almost made we serve off the road... i had to pull over and breathe deeply for a few minutes until the amphetamine-like palpitations passed and the raw, intrusive facts could be processed by my ape's brain...evidence has surfaced that the prestigious london newspaper the daily telegraph had suppressed information obtained by its reporters concerning hsbc's money laundering and tax evasion services it provided to wealthy customers because of ( scandalized tone from the newsreader to punctuate the fact that the bbc does adhere to strict standards of objectivity ) the volume of hsbc's advertizing in the telegraph! say it isn't so! a corporate media outlet tailoring its content to pander to advertisers? what has become of objective journalism in this world...if this continues people may even begin to question the news on fox...some things should remain inviolate and certainly corporate media wants consumers to believe they are 1) objectively reporting ALL the information from both sides of a story and, 2)that the reliability of the information would never be distorted to enhance their financial position relative to the competition or to brand consumers to their organizations through manipulated news content...the daily telegraph will be heavily censured for this by its corporate peers...no good can come of this information becoming widely known...fortunately for the media only cranks listen to the bbc.
