> On top of that, you know what else do they measure? SENTIMENT. So until kicking Facebook generates more revenue - the articles will paint Facebook as a world's main evil. But the day sentiment changes you will see all the articles about Facebook following best practices.

So what you're saying is that sites like nymag will only run stories that are profitable?

Kind of. When everyone is writing articles AGAINST Facebook, it will be very hard to 'sell' article which SUPPORTS Facebook to the editor (because of the potential PR nightmare when potential 4chan starts attacking you)

Article can't go through editor -> article is not published
