Polygon, the site that claimed it would "press reset" on games journalism.
Documentary (about itself) funded by Microsoft for $750,000, "sponsored by Internet Explorer."
Copy-pastes a PR release of a Halo 4 Pizza Hut promotion in the UK (against its own ethical statement: http://www.polygon.com/pages/ethics-statement), brands it as "news".
Deletes criticising comments.
