In Reply to: There are many reasons NEVER to say anything negative posted by Sordidman on January 15, 2013 at 11:06:06:
Why, apart from sleazy commercial reasons, shouldn't a competent reviewer give a POS product an accurate review?
Sometimes the reviewer gets lucky and the POS equipment blows up. Even then excuses seem to be made. IMO the manufacturer should get a one paragraph review stating the obvious. The manufacturer should be on the way to bankruptcy as a result of his inability to deliver working products.
The value of the magazine to the reader is in the information it contains. The information is maximized if half the reviews are positive and half negative. This doesn't happen, because the magazines are not run for the benefit of the readers, but for for sleazy commercial reasons. This has nothing to do with separation of content and advertising. It can be verified simply by observing the mix of positive and negative reviews.
