Suck up campaign

Some extraordinary biased journalism from Campaign this week extolling Media City in no less than 3 articles and mentioning the forthcoming hotel opening in every one, a couple of interviews claiming that Media City is totally responsible for all media in the region and saying that the recent massive rises in rents and charges are a good thing since they will put the "cowboy magazines" out of business.
Now a more skeptical man would perhaps question their motives here, the hotel and outlet plugging is a time honored journalist's ploy to be able to run up a decent bar tab without having to pay, or worse, risking being thrown out on their ears, fair enough I guess.
But the rest of the sycophantic copy could surely have more to do with their own rent rise (or possibly lack of ..) perhaps? And of course a lack of competition for their parent publishing group ITP as the smaller players are pushed out by rent extortion wouldn't do them much harm either.
Cynical moi?
