Looking at the article you linked it looks like readership has only gone up, which means it's becoming more influential, regardless of the model used. Having the Forbes site filled with positive PS4 articles, regardless of the source, effectively means Forbes is leaning that direction due to this model. The media is always biased one way or another so this really isn't surprising in any regard, and most people don't even catch on. But you have to admit it is still greatly influential in molding the opinions of the masses. |
The point is... it's not credible.
The only credible articles on forbes are the ones that don't have a personal blog link.
What they say is the actual way Forbes is leaning. At least if you mean Forbes the influential and insightful news company and not Forbes the modern Blogger.
Forbes the random blog spot's opinion really is irrelevent... and chances are, you could find just as many positive AND negative stories for all the consoles. The only ones people are going to be picking up on are the ones that fit their particular preffered view/ ones they saw in a link elsewhere.

Not to mention the just... weird.
Forbes bloggers are the bottom of the barrel, they're like those review sites EVERYBODY hates. They need to stand out to get money so either they play up fans wishes to the Nth Degree or they Flame the hell out of something to play up haters wishes.
