Regarding "Fortune" and "CNN Travel" -- for that matter , it's not really Fortune and CNN information being dispersed.
In the olden days of journalistic integrity, there would be huge disclaimer that this was an "advertorial" and "does not necessarily represent the view of the publisher."

Don't believe me?

I don't think the direct source AS, knows what AS is doing , much less any third party.
