Is that reductio ad absurdum in action?

  If it is, then it's a major fail because all it would take would be for the bloggers to state that Samsung paid for their travel and accomodation when they went to the event, but they are independent reviews. That should be sufficient for people to make up their mind.

    >Samsung paid for their travel and accomodation when they went to the event, but they are independent reviews Only if the word "independent" has decided to become a synonym for 'sassy' and leave behind the boring 'disentangled.'

  Maybe, but with the endless number of reporters sleeping with the people they're reporting on or sleeping around in the industries they're reporting in, I think a degree of celibacy may not be such a absurd idea. Every third establishment licking journalist is sleeping with some high level Democratic or Republican functionary or a Goldman VP. I wouldn't be surprised if tech turned out to be similar.
