" You seemed to accept the company's answers without counter attacking.
It's ok if you want to showcase the company's PR. It's not ok if you're
trying to demonstrate hard hitting journalism."
It's just bros hangin' with their bros, while gettin' some ducats out of it.
We're supposed to envy them as "insiders." It's pretty pathetic. "Oh Vernon,
you're so cool you even get to ask them questions which you'll later describe
to your audience as tough ones. How privileged and lucky you are. Livin' the
dream."
It's not even journalism, let alone hard-hitting inquiry or critical
examination. It's fluff. But that's what Bike Mag has been since it began.
Selling the image of livin' the dream. Why should we expect them to dig deep
and turn on the inquisitor's bright spotlight?
