Yes, he can take a few sentences from reviews here and there where he took Apple to task over the years, but that's not the same thing as being objective about Apple products. He routinely (e.g., with the Xoom) takes products with superior specs and compares them unfavorably to Apple products. He glosses over any features that make the competitors' products more attractive (as seen in both videos I linked to).
I'm sure Mr. Pogue is a nice man and loves his family very much. I just wouldn't trust him to review any product where Apple had a competing product.
