The whole 'entertainment' angle is so ironic when considering what LMG is trying to become and how much money they are spending on that plan. They want to be seen as experts with objective, reliable data, but can't afford $500 of employee time to test things properly?!

This sure is a blow to that desired reputation.

Agree. As a casual viewer, I find LMG enjoyable as entertainment, but you can tell they're playing it fast and loose. I've never had an inclination to rely on their reviews or opinions, there's already so many better sources for that.
