How we treat biased editing should have no connection with the payment arrangements between the company and the editor. Biased editing is wrong whether or not the person is being paid.
Both sentences are correct on some interpretation.
But: if there is an edit war, sanctions on a biased editor who is paid can and should be harsher (if there is any reasonable evidence that payment being made). And the difference between a fan and a flack tweaking the biography of a film star to read more favourably strikes me as important.
