Advertisers Control Publishing? well... duh!

In response to a story regarding the firing of Jeff Gertsman from Gamespot for allegedly writing a negative review, nedder had this to say:

"I was the head reviewer for AGN3D (allgames.com). I gave Turok 2 a fairly scathing review and Acclaim contacted my boss (Jeremy Alford) and tried to have him pull it or give it a higher rating.

Thankfully, Jeremy had high integrity and he stood behind my review.

We didn't say anything about the matter on the site, but now I'm starting to think that all sites should expose publishers/developers who try to coerce review sites."

If wishes were fishes, we all could eat.
