Is there any reason to believe Wirecutter or NYT has compromised the integrity of their reviews? That seems an unfair allegation to throw around absent any evid

  Here is one example allegation: http://www.evodesk.com/wirecutter-standing-desk-review-pay-to-play-model http://www.evodesk.com/wirecutter-standing-desk-review-pay-t... With most conflicts you won't know the whole truth, but it's a data point. The Wirecutter also doesn't give the 'best' in everything. They do have implict budgets. For example, they won't recommend $5000 stereo speaker pairs, even though they would be better than the KEF Q150s they recommend currently. They don't recommend full frame / medium format cameras either, since they are probably too high end and expensive for their target markets. I don't really fault them although for having some cost limits although. They would probably make the valid argument that if your buying the full frame cameras and $2500 loudspeakers that you probably know what your doing and don't need the wirecutter. I do wish they pointed it out a bit more in some of their guides although.
