Y'know, I don't have any particular use or care for Pogue; I find him to be somewhat irritating and his reviews aren't usually relevant to my uses.
That said, the "Pogue is an Apple Fanboy" comments crack me up. When people accuse Pogue of bias, they end up displaying their own bias.
For example, in the FC Pro review, he spends the first 1/3 of the review saying that "yet again, Apple has eviscerated one of its apps," much as they did with iMovie in 2008. He says that pros will "grind their teeth" over the changes, and added a brief list of features that were pulled out. But Pogue is not writing a review for pros, nor should anyone expect that from him at this point; he's writing a review for Joe Average who wants to edit video of his family and post it on Youtube.
In contrast, the CNN article isn't a review, it's a report of objections
by professionals to the changes. Nothing in one article refutes the other. They are written by, for and about different FCP user bases.
And of course, the article that kicked all this off is NOT pro-Apple, wildly anti-B&N or anti-Kobo. In fact it's rather complimentary to both.
So I'd have to guess that people are just reading the OP's excruciatingly selective quotes and ignoring the rest; and/or presume that Pogue "is always" pro-Apple, therefore they declare the article is anti-everything else... without actually reading it. **Nice.**
