No Take-sies Back-sies

It's quite obvious to run any type of publication, you need money. And when people see the work your doing, and like it, it's fine if they want to invest in it. This is what happened with ProPublica. Two wealthy men donated and have promised to continue donating money to the investigative news site. But what happens when investors/advertisers/readers get so involved with finances that they expect you, the publisher, to write what they want and to toss any idea they don't agree with? Well, if you want to stay in business, you do what your told. But if you want to stay true to your ethical code, you go broke until you create another money-making plan. When people with big checks pick certain news sites, they do it their way — because there is no take-sies back-sies.
