Re: The Arrington blowup, and his attempt to uncover bias. My question is this: If you are a respected journalist and feel you should have gotten a 'free' test version of the Pre but didn't, would you not also be biased? His example stating that those that didn't receive a free Pre judged it more harshly. It sure sounds like the possibility of bias exists there. It simply comes down to the integrity of the source doing the review, regardless of how they obtained the item to be reviewed.
