I'm not being disingenuous. I never even look at the ads displayed on practically every web page I see and embedded within every free e-mail I receive. The wonder, to me, is that people keep ponying up more and more money for those unread ads. (Shhh! Don't tell I-Hub.) And I'm not a paid subscriber to NewsMax. Don't even remember how I got on their mailing list, but some of their political stuff is amusing.
And: What does the advertiser have to do with the value of the article, anyway?
