A free press? Really!

So much for freedom of the press. This article reveals that People magazine paid 14 million dollars to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in exchange for photos of their children and allegedly for "positive" coverage, meaning the magazine would not publish negative content about them, as well as editorial rights. The New York Times goes on to allege that this positive coverage is for future coverage as well, not just for the current story. Hmm... maybe the media needs to consider this as a new business model, especially in regards to politicians. Oh wait! That would require showing clear bias for one candidate over another and wouldn't be fair to the American electorate. Oh, they're doing that for free. Guess they aren't really good businessmen after all.
