Interesting comment from stereomojo on advertising

I am not commenting on this one way or another, just thought it was interesting:

'Yes, we relish informing our readers about "dirty little secrets" in the audio biz. You'll see them throughout our reviews.

This one is not really a secret, it's very well known in the industry, but it's pretty dirty.

Anytime you hear an editor tell you that advertising does not influence their reviews, they are ...let's say...being disingenuous. Period.

That's not just in audio publications, but most for profit publications.

Almost all people at the top of major publications and many reviewers, audio or not,rely on income from them to put food on their table.

It's their job - their career. For me, it is not.'
