Unbiased

I was just checking my blog statistics and came across this mercenary little announcement:
"When you share your words, thoughts and photos on Blogger, you are sharing your passions with the world. Sometimes, you’re passionate about brands or products. Starting today, you can make money by promoting relevant products in your posts, gaining income for each new customer you introduce to your favorite brands."
Yuck! I assure my readers that I do no such thing. I don't mention products or stores so that I can make money; that would be wrong and it would ruin any credibility that I have. Nor would I ever accept free meals, ice cream, cider, pedicures, bread or chocolate milk in return for mentioning the merchant in this column.
