Imagine most of your income comes from Adsense, how would you feel about revealing something as disturbing as google involved in a case of corruption in the european parliament? This is just a fictional example, but the point is this is the kind of news they release.

Mediapart is not about news on the latest iphone nor your average tabloid, they release news about political corruptions, large companies lobbying, and the like. Not having pressure from any company, or government, or political side is why they have subscribers (myself included, fwiw, disclaimer here).

I agree - I'd cite the example of the UK magazine Private Eye. For instance, they've run several articles recently criticising the proposed expansion of London Heathrow airport, despite every issue of late featuring a full-page ad propagandising in favour of it. The lobbyists are no doubt paying a pretty penny for that ad campaign, but there's no sign that's affected the Eye's independence at all. And that's just one example - they've reliably shown themselves happy to bite the hand that feeds.

Having google deleting your AdSense account for policy infringement makes you necessary not independent In my opinion
