Charlie, that may well be true, but Leon, as a person that takes money from advertisers, needs to understand that when comes out and continually tries to downplay or dismiss everything bad that comes up about one of his advertisers, he opens himself up to criticism and loss of credibility, especially since he claims that the money he takes from advertisers doesn't influence his objectivity.

Leon is the one that mentioned that he has thought about asking Mastro not to advertise any more. Given that Leon has close personal ties to them and finds it necessary to defend them all the time, it's probably the best thing to do so that he can claim to defend a friend rather than an advertiser. His only other real option if you continues to take their money is to remain quiet so as not to give anyone the perception that he is defending an advertiser.

Leon will do what he wants to do. That's been clear since the day he took over the board. Most of the sheep here go along with it. I and other won't.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
