I think that idea is a little naive. If a newspaper's biggest advertiser is getting poor press (or perhaps poor reviews of its products), you better bet they're going to try and flex that leverage. If they can't go to the editor, they'll go to the investors with threats of pulling their ad money. The fact that there is that fear that money will disappear is always going to be a useful bargaining tool. A little less for a non-profit, but still..
Also, it needn't be overt.
