RE: Excuse me but all???

You are right. All reviewers do not work for manufacturers, but all trade medias do.

I am sorry I offended some. However, name a single magazine/web site where advertising sales reps who do not use a good review to cut a deal. None of the reviewers around here seem aware of this, and if they do not speak with the reps then they see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. Fair enough, but do not pretend reviews plays no role whatsoever in the paycheck.

Reviewers do not sell space, and I accept there's a gap seperating editorial and advertising. The fact remain that all magazines and web sites ARE businesses and those businesses need revenues to keep going.

It's also another fact that readership do not cover for publishing expenses. Nobody ever said that earning an honest living is bad, but please stop acting like offended virgins.
