“…news companies haven’t figured out a way to monetize the Web”

I don’t understand why websites are rarely paid by advertisers for “brand building” ads. Why the seeming strict adherence to being paid only for immediate sales? I am just not getting it. Alas, that may explain the reason why I’m not paid a million dollars annually as some sort of advertising guru.

I stopped subscribing to GQ, in part, because of its lefty bias. It’s a men’s magazine — why must it inject liberal ideology into its content?

I did the same when Men’s Health embraced Obama … again, same rationale as listed above.

How does it hurt, say, GQ, not to delve into ideology? Would a liberal man about town stop subscribing because the mag lacked a liberal bias? No. But a liberal might stop reading it if every other article was pro GOP/Rush/Hannity.

The same holds true in reverse.
