I don't agree that old media had well separated consumer and advertiser interests. An obvious example is the volume of TV ads -- on many TV channels ads are much louder than content, and I fail to see how could that be in any way good for the viewers. Another example is the very thing Chris talked about in the story about a Google guy, who was surprised that Chris was trying to hide commercial ties between the magazine and advertisers by moving ads away from articles about related products.
