You report, as fact, that "CNET execs. fired Jeff Gerstmann, former editor of Gamespot, for the "tone" of his review of the game Kane & Lynch" when you have no idea if it's true. Nobody knows why Gerstman was fired, least of all the hysterical commenters jumping to conclusions left right and centre. To say "presumably because of pressure from the publisher Eidos" is irresponsible reporting. The payoff: "Basically all the negative things you hear about payola in videogame reviews seem to be true at Gamespot" On what evidence? Because a bunch of bloggers said so? That is lame. Fail.
