I think it's rather weak to only blame the previewers, because - as has been said - there are sometimes legal consequences (as developers can always say "it is still in production, so bashing it is unfair").
And those sites / magazines live off of their ability to preview / review games, so they are not going to bite the hand that feeds them games.
A review is less dangerous, since then the audience can judge for themselves anyway.
