Deciding on what is 'trivial' is, I hope you'll agree, not so important as deciding what is 'biased'. Advertising is clearly a form of bias. I see no problem (other than logistics) with 'trivial' items sitting in the background, but any item that carries a bias (either way) should be 'neutralised'. You can either take that as in it's literal meaning or that used by rat catchers...
