I am amused to say the least, though this isn't the first time there's been a GT podcast filled with Nintendo hate, nor will it be the last. Hell the only thing I haven't come out of them is 360 hate. But either way fanboyism in gaming media is kinda getting old, even complaining about it is old, any site that allows such people to represent them and cannot even come up with a halfway intelligent argument as to why they hate _____ console is not professional.

People wonder why gaming as a whole isn't taken as a serious medium look no further then the "professional" sites and magazines it's worse then trying to read political arguments and the thing is it goes no where. If people as a whole finally saw how stupid and counter productive all of this is they'd just stop going to these sites. The issue is these people are catering to and apart of their followers which will be hard to separate them the only way to really do it is hope they destroy themselves and everything they enjoy and/or some other entity destroys the things they enjoy like graphics + high production costs = dead companies, but do these consumers or sites care no they want more eye orgasms.

The Media in general is bias, not just gaming. Have you seen Fox News? and itsquite popular too.

Yeah in general, but at least most other forums of media have their respected outlets, general news has The New York Post and USA Today.  There's respectible movies and music critics as well and generally they're pretty big.  The issue with the game industry the respectible guys like our staff we're small when compared to IGN, gamespot, and gametrailers.  There's numerous other small outlets with good writers but when peoples favorite game does not get a 9 it's a flame war started by immature gamers and the sad part is many sites cave and start to alinate the people that went to the site for the good writing and have everything directed towards the general crowd of gamers that sit on the internet all day. Which in general aren't the masses, just the majority that will go off on you for little to no reason.

To me, it's a fairly new medium compared to other media outlet, it's full of young and very opinonated people which i kind of like. This people actually say what they think unlike the CBS, FOX, NBC which report depending on the corporation that owns them. Yes, they were harsh on the Wii, but thats just one week, they usually destroy the PS3. But I like it, because they are real and they speak their minds. I also enjoy the 1up folks for the same reason.

I am bombarded everyday with scripted and hesitent media, i like those who speak their minds even when i don't agree with them.
