Fair enough.

Though I still think that even by saying "Wow, even in spite of their massive bias against Nintendo, GameSpot was forced to recognize this game's greatness." you admit that their criticism and scores of MK8 and similar games are somewhat legitimate and I personally don't think they were.  You're basically saying that if a game is really, really good, it will get a perfect score from them. If not, it's just not that good.   

I was paraphrasing the general response I'm seeing, not offering my own opinion. I don't care much about the track record of specifics sites or publications. To me, it comes down to the individual reviewer.

I don't read a lot of reviews. I hardly read any from GS, certainly not enough to have my own opinion about any of their reviewers. I can only think of a couple of critics I really respect, and even then I often disagree with them.
