Express advertorial?

How bleeding sad is that? Always knew there was an element of this, but didn't realise they were so brazen about it.

Happy reading! I won't be renewing my sub to CTT!  :4x4:

Indeed, Cody. As a retired journo of 50 years standing, I find that very sad indeed. And typical of modern magazines. All you get for your $9.95 is anodyne articles, pretty pictures and puff paragraphs. I've given up buying any of them. Get more (and better) info on here. Free. And why do their editors think that everybody is fascinated with Fraser bloody Island? If I see one more article about the bloody place, I may just fly over east and give somebody a slap.
Cheers, Tony

Given that most of the staff there are even trained journos having somebody there that understands the process may just complicate things far too much
