It looks like your dislike of Apple somehow means that Anandtech is the one who is biased? Really? Come on now.

  He wasn't speaking for himself, he was talking about some of their readers.

    Reading his other comment, he's talking for himself.

    Readers who are complained about far more often than they are actually seen.

    "Some say…" is the Fox News way of saying "we just made this up on the show that preceded this one". Unless someone can actually call their conclusions and numbers into question using actual facts, then it's just anti-Apple whining, whether it's him or "some readers".

  Look, it's not just me sitting here complaining. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2270612 http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2270612 Pretty much every review of Apple gear has people moaning about bias in the comments. I'm not saying there is any favoritism, but certainly the perception amongst Anandtech readers is that there might be. At the end of the day, there's no reason why the writers at Anandtech would be any more immune to access journalism than other folk who have tried and failed.

    Those kinds of complaints can be seen anywhere there is a positive review of Apple products. You are actually saying there is favoritism. It's dishonest to claim otherwise. You've just suggested that Anand has succumbed to access journalism. Why not just be honest about what you think, rather pretending to be disinterested reporting on the views of others? Let's also note that the commenter accusing AnandTech of bias in that comment thread you linked is resoundingly and overwhelmingly rebutted by other readers.

      Those kinds of complaints can be seen anywhere there is a positive review of Apple products. Those kinds of complaints can be seen anywhere there is a positive review of any product. If someone likes Google Glass, four hundred comments by people calling you a glasshole and telling you that you must like Google stealing all your data. Positive reviews of the Samsung Galaxy Note got huge criticism among the Apple sphere, everyone agog over how anyone could possibly like something so big (must be payola). And on and on and on.

        Quite so for most of these cases, but Samsung has been convicted for paying shills, so let's not use this as an excuse to whitewash them.
        • corresation 13y ago
          but Samsung has been convicted for paying shills Apple gives special treatment to outlets and bloggers who treat them "well" (and punish those who don't). It's all the same inducement, and it's all just as grubby.

            So knocking Gizmodo — who chose to profit from the receipt of an ill-gotten prototype — off the list of invitees is somehow just as bad as buying journalists outright?

    > Pretty much every review of Apple gear has people moaning about bias in the comments. Well, yes, but any time just about anyone anywhere reviews an Apple thing and doesn't say "This is worse than iHitler", there are cries of bias, evil conspiracy, etc. People are a bit funny about Apple.
