You have to remember what CDN is. It is free...
It is not Consumer Reports. CR boast that they buy everything they review and can afford to offer un biased or even scathing reports.
Dale and CDN is very much a cottage industry. They do need to be concerned about their relationship with their advertisers. Therefore you don't see hard hitting reports of dive boats anchoring too close to private vessels. But you don't see any just plain wrong or yellow journalism.
Would I like to see biting controversy? A bit.
But I would not mind seeing price wars in the advertisements.
Since I am not the editor, it ain't none of my business. :o)
