"

Reporters and editors say that reviews are often written in close consultation with manufacturers."

I think we all knew that but it's still disappointing.

Does not just happen in this industry.

I don't know any industry that doesn't happen in, but that doesn't make it any more palatable.

They sell lots of tissue on isle 11 at Wal-mart. This guy is a douche and clearly learned NOTHING while earning and working his history degree. I find it ironic that having an education automatically makes one smarter than the clarity of their actions or words. I guess he forgot that the British didn't fucking care what the make of the guns were when they were sent to seize them and started the Revolution. That's a pretty easy historical fact that's taught at Jr high level.

No, it is not. Not for a while now. When I asked a school administrator why my daughter had not been taught about the Alamo, I was told that they don't teach that because it was controversial and was considered racist against hispanic students. History lessons were more about recent world history, not American history, a kind of merging of history and social studies. This was about 11 years ago.
