My reply: Because it is *directly affecting the willingness of Fox to run negative stories on its funders*, according to the article I referenced. I'd have the same issue on the straight-ad side. And because when commercial material is presented as news, it distorts the viewers' understanding of the truth. Product placement on the entertainment side, while still an issue, is much less of an issue for me than when it shows up in newscasts.
