Well, I think if they were asked that question straight out they would say no, but after their recent activity I'm not too sure how many people would believe that.
Everyone Is Wrong in the CNET/CES Conflict
Here is PC Magazine's take on the issue:

They come back to my earlier point. The winner here is Dish..... CNET, CBS, and CES can keep slinging blame for days. Dish couldn't buy this much publicity!!

The PC mag writer should be fired. As he POORLY wrote in the first paragraph, he says Shapiro retracted his decision.

Good. I hope to see more articles and columns against this CBS stupid move. If it isn't countered, it will only spread.
Ok, I read the article 3 times. All it mentions in the first paragraph is Shapiro's USA Today piece and then it states CNET retracted the decision. Sounds like you want to "kill the messenger". But I guess if one wants to spin this one will find a way.
As for John C. Dvorak, he calls it as he see's it, always has, always will. If you ever saw Cranky Geeks you know he never spins his opinion as such to satisfy anyone.
Well, he certainly got one thing wrong in the article. "CNET is the same as it ever was"...not before CBS bought them.
Dvorak has been wrong in the past, most notable was he predicted the "mouse" would not last. Interesting sort of fact, Dvorak was part of CNET's starting crew. As for CNET, I have used them as well as Revision3,TWIT,Tom's Hardware and a host of others in getting reviews for electronics for myself and others. I have no ill will toward CNET over this, but again now there is doubt. So I will compare their reviews with others, if it sort of falls in line with the others I guess I can utilize their reviews.
All this goes back to companies with their fingers in everything. Just look toward Disney-ABC as an example.
