The importance of accurate journalism is the fact that metacritic scores affect game sales and in turn the livelihood and in some cases existence of developers. A game that gets a 7 and deserves a 9 will lose sales because of that fact. If you want to report on games do it professionally, accurately, and considerately. When you don't you're damaging more than game sales.

Oh, but those reviewers are often aware of this.

And guess which console they want to fail...

yeah, but there are plenty of awesome games that get high reviews and no sales. It's not a completely congruent relationship.
