juxtaposition

I was listening to NPR’s Morning Edition on my way into work today. The news program had a long report about the FDA ban on ephedra. After the report, the program broke for station identification and local news. After announcing the current weather and traffic information, the WAMU newscaster added that the broadcast had been sponsored by Metabolife, an herbal supplement/weight-loss company cited in the earlier NPR ephedra story.
