Your well articulated and entertaining post pretty much nails it. Accurate and to the point.
Of course the idea of complete isolation of "Church and State" is virtually impossible to implement, but a good start is not having the Editor married to an ad manager. :)
The only thing you can do is to do what Stereophile has done, to their credit. A magazine has to see itself as a cable provider, with each of its reviewers a different channel.
So if you are Fox News, Mikey is MSNBC, and Art is CNN, and Herb R. is the Cartoon Channel, readers get to choose what channel on the dial they view, and the only thing the reader can do is look at the collective bias of all the writers to form their own opinions.
The biggest issue with the above, unfortunately, is the fat that the demographic of stereophile writers are 100% middle aged white male. Stephen Mejias, before he left to memorize Audioquest marketing literature, was the one exception by age.
I found John Atkinson's claim of not finding suitable writers out of this demographic disingenuous. The email to Sue Kraft was proof positive.

But perhaps misplaced?
I know of marriages wherein, to quote Gordon Lightfoot, "I don't believe we've had a word all day, about anything at all... ."
Be that as it may.
You pairing of writers with media outlets is laugh out loud funny, thanks.
BTW, Ariel Bitran was I think even younger than Stephen Mejias.
ATB,

GL is a fave.
Ariel Bitran was not a reviewer or print columnist, to the best of my knowledge, so I don't see how he can be included. And he bolted.
But you are right, I don't recall his being in the print issue.
