...side effect of chemotherapy, and Kathleen Turner directed viewers to a website for a drug for rheumatoid arthritis. Sometimes, as with Bacall's controversial appearance on NBC's Today, the celebrities fail to mention that they are being paid. Just last week CNN (which is owned by AOL Time Warner) announced that from now on, it will always disclose any such financial ties during an interview, and the three major broadcast networks have suggested that they will follow suit...

Justice confirmed last week that it would follow up on the SEC's investigation into how the company's AOL division accounted for some $270 million in revenue over the past two years. The amount involved is almost trivial in a $38 billion-a-year company, but the implications are not. The agencies are investigating whether AOL executives contrived to misstate advertising revenues to puff up the performance of AOL just as it was closing its merger with Time Warner.
