NEWS OR ADS NICOLA?

Nicola Barriteau of C News, you read your station's midday newscast today, yet during the 7pm news on TV6 this evening we heard your voice on an ad for Republic Bank's telebanking and online banking service!
You and your bosses need to make up your minds whether you are one of the faces of an objective media house, or whether you will be paid to voice ads for private/public companies.
How can you now read a serious story about Republic Bank with a straight face?
Where is your credibility? Steups!
And once again, Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer and Lyse Doucet would never be caught dead voicing an ad for the HSBC bank, no matter how much they offered.
