Ads Suffocate Yesterday's Fastline

 
Did anyone notice that in yesterday's Fastline that three-quarters was advertising - and the editorial had to scream & yell to be noticed around it? Reading the editorial was like trying to navigate your way through the Takapuna markets on a Sunday morning - a bloody nightmare!
I realise that advertising is the life-blood of any publication, and without it we wouldn't have jobs... but surely the primary reason we read it is for the news - not the advertising?

28% of the editorial seems to be pilfered from the blogs too.
