Conflict of Interest?

I had a post dealing with an advertisement for a PAC advocating "regime change" in the US. This was followed by a post discussing an op-ed on the same internet news site using the existence of the aforementioned PAC as proof that there is no pro-Bush, pro-War presence on the internet.

So, the add is being run on MSNBC. And the op-ed piece is also on MSNBC, touting the site sponsoring the add as an example of the wonderful "anti-war, anti-Bush" organization on the internet.

So, does MSNBC need to reveal that the PAC, named MoveOnPAC, is a paid advertiser on their site? Isn't this a bit of a conflict of interest? They spend money advertising here, so we're giving them good press.

Just seems sort of cheesey and underhanded to me.
