That’s literally the definition of journalistic ethics. They don’t let Amazon being a sponsor influence their coverage of Amazon. The way to do that is to separate advertising and editorial. If Amazon wants to pull their ads because of a story, that’s on them. (Side note: Gawker doesn’t, you know, technically exist…

Hi Barry!

They tried this with Darren Rovell, but they couldn’t create a baseline for the pulse readings.
