"Wow.
Here’s a link to the Gates-subsidized NBCNews.com article.
There is no indication that it’s an advertisement or advertorial.
It appears to be a bona fide news story written by a bona fide reporter (Nona Willis Aronowitz).
Here it is featured along with NBC News’ other articles on its education page:"

"It’s no secret that the Gates Foundation has been lobbying hard for Common Core educational standards. 
This, however, is the first we’ve heard of a grant to subsidize a major news outlet’s Common Core coverage.
How long, we wonder, has this cozy little arrangement been going on? 
Have other MSM news outlets accepted grants from the Gates Foundation?"
