Boing Boing links to the WSJ article on TV gadget payola racket…this so doesn’t surprise me.

In Melbourne we used to watch Sunrise in the morning (a great breakfast current events type show), but the one segment that always ripped my undies was the gadget/technology segment, where they were so obviously led by the nose into what ever the sponsors wanted them to cover…I remember getting wound up at how clueless they could be, particularly when they occaisionally reviewed web services and often were completely wrong and misleading in their reporting…urghh.
