CNN’s tricky ad placement

I was just checking on the headlines at cnn.com. Here is the official page that came up.

Okay, everything’s jake. Now look at the bottom of that first page and notice the line-up of news videos.

Look at the one about dermatologists; underneath in tiny writing is “advertisement”. You probably didn’t notice it; I didn’t.
Click on that segment and you see this official-looking CNN page – supposedly on health.

Like a tiny wrinkle, ADVERTISEMENT is at the very top.
Now I know all this is labelled, by the letter of the law, is okay . . . but, really, it ain’t jake.
