@OP
The overly praising and the overly criticizing articles used to be spread evenly between PS, Xbox, Nintendo etc. but after the PS and Nintendo teams left (reportedly because they had enough of some paid articles and restrictions on what to write) I have to agree with you that lately their journalism has been a little skewed.
IGN has had some of the same articles returning again and again the past few weeks dooming PS 1st party ("It's been a bad month for fans of Sony's Worldwide Studios"), the PS4 ("Regretting the PS4") and the Vita ("Is Borderlands Vita bad?"). This week the articles are titled "Something Weird Is Going On at Sony and Naughty Dog", "Is Borderlands 2 Vita in Trouble?", etc.
I haven't seen an article questioning the quality of anything Microsoft for a very long time as eg. "The Problem with Choice in Infamous".
Am I being delusional or could it be that it's possible to buy articles on IGN that give your competitor bad PR?

Those were all questions asked by fans during their PlayStation podcast. Throughout the week they release each fan question asked in small videos.

I might be delusional but since Greg Miller and co. left IGN I've just seen a lot of bad PR for PS. Then I looked thorugh their articles and I cannot find a single bad Xbox PR.
Even though the ones that say "Podcast Beyond" are fan questions IGN still chooses which to highlight.

... Greg Miller is still at IGN. He's just more into video now. He hosts Up at Noon on IGN with Brian Altano—he recently had Chris Jericho as a guest; he does Podcast Beyond, IGN's PlayStation podcast, with Colin Moriarty and he's a frequent guest on Gamescoop which Damon hosts... The fact that you don't know any of this suggests to me that you haven't been to IGN.
And Mitch Dyer, who used to post the Xbox stories, posted most of the doom and gloom PS stories.
