You're right, Mycropht, it's not. But what Alexander was pointing out (and I agree with him
), is that it's not really an objective
review either.
For it to be that, Mr. Manes would need to make some attempt to
set aside his agenda, and review the device in question, rather than just his opinions of what that device
should be. Commenting on whether you like some feature is one thing, simply blasting it for not meeting your preconceptions, and focusing solely on what you perceive as negatives is another entirely.
That is the burden of journalism, one that is all too rarely shouldered in the field these days.
He has a right to his opinions, and a right to express them. However, it is disingenuous, at best (and deceptive, at least, in my opinion), to pass those opinions off as facts and an agenda off as a review.
That's the sort of thing that annoys me.
