Guardian makes money selling advertising....
I'm sure that it does, but the fact is that the Guardian doesn't need to make money at all - the Guardian Media Group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardian_Media_Group takes care of that so that the paper is totally independant.
I'm guessing that Vanity Fair on the other hand does need to make money... and a little digging shows that it's owned by the same group that publishes Wired magazine. Now, i seem to recall that it was a Wired employee that shopped Bradley Manning, and i start to wonder how deep the connection goes...
Sorry if this is too complicated.
