"Over America" Review Filled with Politics

[Gremal]

I will defend the reviewer and the administrators of blu-ray.com because as a reviewer, one needs to be honest about his/her impressions. A publisher (in this case the site's administrators) needs to be willing to run with the uncensored review to have integrity. Whether the reviewer then gains or loses integrity with the audience is a separate issue.

My reviews of a couple titles have been colored by political/personal bias and to the credit of the review editor and site developer/administrators, they ran the reviews. Honestly, my views are different than Lindsay's, but we should just take a reviewer's political bias for what it's worth. As much as we may not agree, censorship is much worse than allowing the opposing view to stand, even if it may be clearly wrong.

And let's also remember that the reviews serve a different purpose and provide a different function than the forums. Allowing political discussions in the forums is a recipe for complete disaster. I know this from my experience on other forums. It's wise to keep politics out of the forums so things remain as civil as possible.
