Gamespot reviewer fired for review?

Unsettling if true, but I figured I'd post the link here and see what others think on it.

I've been doubting the credibility of the larger gamesites lately...this just confirms it more.

It's something I've always wondered about, it does seem like it'd be a difficult balance to maintain. Do you bash a game if a company is giving you hundreds of thousands worth of revenue?
Journalism itself is a tricky field to maintain integrity in, but when compounded by the fact that your bills are paid by the very product you're reviewing it seems almost impossible.

The first time we agree on something =)
But I think Gamespot is ok at times. And I never liked Gertsman at all, I've always said I wish they got rid of him cause he always gets the big games to review and rarely lets others. Good for you Gamespot!
