In Reply to: Ralph, this statement is my only area of disagreement. posted by volunteer on June 25, 2012 at 08:19:22:
I used to think that bad reviews did serve editorial policy to warn readers of bad products. But after my own experiences that I have outlined here, neither of which mentioned the actual problem (JerryS not liking that we called him out, Steven Stone not mentioning his tampering with the unit) I realized that bad reviews are often unethical, despite the desire on the part of the readership to see them.
It all depends on if the review is bad for the reasons given, or if there are facts that directly relate to that review that get no mention.
Now if a manufacturer is unable to get any traction in the press because no-one will talk about his horrible product then the public is being served by those magazines even if the public doesn't know it. This, IMO is the ethical approach.
I appreciate that we all have our opinions, but I have yet to hear of an example that tells me I am wrong in this. It could be though that I have just seen a spat of bad luck, but in matters such as these one would hope that luck has nothing to do with it.
