	Advertising certainly does lead to censorship.
	
	All publications, especially small special-interest ones, are
	dominated by advertisers.  For example, no stereo magazine will publish
	an equipment review that roasts a particular speaker company.

Let's say MOST publications.  Consumer Reports accepts no advertisements,
for precisely this reason, and roasts any company that deserves it.
I think most news magazines are also generally unafraid of their advertisers.
As you say, though, small special-interest magazines are another matter.
