See, now a post like this, that is more truthful is a better place to start than the whole overboard thing you did in post #696. Where you tried to pretend the hired comedian was a journalist and where the show should be discredited due to an anonymous, uncorroborated allegation from some website.

Watchdog's reporting in both cases tries to be a bit too much of an entertainment piece in my book. I don't disagree that the PS3 show seemed to have more elements of that and I agree they detract from taking the show seriously.

Instead of discussing that, which I think many rational people could agree on, at least to a reasonable degree, you took the tact of looking to discredit them unfairly, simply because you, as a PS3 fanboy, took great exception that you felt they already did that to your favorite Sony product. This calls to mind the old saying, two wrongs don't make a right.

You've expressed your disdain for US and UK media coverage of the PS3 for quite some time. And you have claimed they hold a bias against it and also one in favor of its rival, the Xbox 360. You still have never explained why Microsoft is supposedly the favorite son when it comes to Xbox, but not other products, or how this supposed conspiracy is organized. So when you go over the top with a "get back" like in post 696 obviously you make it harder to get to a rational conversation.
