This is a small group of idiots, yes, but I think it's emblematic of a disturbing trend I've been noticing. I see a lot of consumers appear to mistrust reviewers, critics, and journalism in general. It's like a weird anti-intellectual movement and it's awfully scary to me. I just want to remind everyone: it's the job of critics to inform public opinion, not reflect it.
