Just ran into a new word.
Advertorial.
a newspaper or magazine advertisement giving information about a product in the style of an editorial or objective journalistic article.
A better definition might be,
a few sparse facts designed to give credibility to a tsunami of marketing hooks.
Advertorial, what a perfect word to weave into the Zeitgeist of the times.

Agendorial is probably a more common practice which needs a word. Already have one I suppose, propaganda.

Looked up the word Agendorial. Couldn't find an exact match here on the Internet. Should I take this to be an incestous colloquialism between Agenda and editorial? That's my take, but I am open to a pedantic knuckle cracking as a form of literary education. Yes, I did attend a catholic grade school so I am familiar with the technique. Do I have to supply the ruler and self administer?
