You don't want the business side telling you things like "don't write things that piss off Apple because they advertise here." That's the business side interference journalists do and should be concerned about it. That's not the same as "I get to write whatever the hell I want and my bosses can't say anything about it even if it might lead to a lawsuit which will destroy the company."
It's similar to thinking the First Amendment gives you a right to be listened to. It doesn't.
