<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Automobile section writers in newspapers are also some of the most notorious for cozying up to local dealers and writing favorable reviews. </font>
Quite often these are advertising sections and these so-called auto review writers work for the advertising department, not the editorial department. It's the same thing with real estate sections. In these cases you're really reading ads.
