Product placement

This Morning (a TV show) appears as the subject of the news report; The Sun (a newspaper/news outlet) appears as the publisher/watermark. Neither product acts or is being sold; they are the subject of the news story and the source of the reporting respectively. Removing these names would change the topic of the news report, but they are not being marketed.
