A lot of the entheusiast press dislike the Wii because they simply dislike Nintendo and casual gamers. Therefore, they attempt to marginalize the console. This is especially true of reporters like Bashcraft, the entire 1up website, and the non-nintendo IGN team(which are largely in the tank for sony).
I believe this generation(because there is no clear winner since Nintendo has been marginalized as casual by popular perception) breeds fanboyism, and sites that assign editors to cover certain systems do end up being fanboys of said system.
Its expected that, from time to time, these fanboy are going to say some fanboy shit. It comes with the territory.

Wow am I tired of this crap. 1UP and IGN have the best podcasts about videogames and cover each console equally. IGN has a podcast devoted to the Wii and 1 for the Xbox.
I'm sorry that these sites are not eating up Carnival Games and Wii Play, but you are completely making up the fact that they "dislike Nintendo." That's absurd, especially considering most of them are of the age when Nintendo dominated and everyone liked them! As someone who has listened to every podcast both sites have put out, I'm pretty sure I remember them liking a lot of Wii and especially a lot of DS games.
Stop your lies.
Edit: I'd also like to point out this post was really only critizing one guy from Gametrailers apparently not understanding the math of the console war so far. However, it's his opinion and he's entitled to it. Saying that most people buy their Wii as a 2nd console isn't too far fetched considering a lot of people have done that (and btw, I disagree and I think a lot of people will be getting a PS3 and/or 360 as a 2nd console because the Wii was cheaper and/or more innovative to a lot of people). Obviously everyone who hasn't is on this website and for some reason feels the need to attack every video game review website and publication in existence at one point or another.
