[casino_comps] Re: Tony & Tina's wedding

So if you watch a show that is truly crappy like this one, you are either supposed to lie about it in your review or just pretend you never saw it? Sounds like these web sites are afraid they will lose ad business from someone who gets a bad review.

As a working journalist, I would say that the integrable of these web sites is less than zero, and not worth the bandwidth they suck up. If you are going to write a review, MAKE IT HONEST. To do anything else is devoid of professionalism and ethics.
