Another one bites the dust!

Well, if you've been following this whole nasty business from last year, you'll have heard that another journalist from Gamespot has decided to leave. Recently Rich Gallup left, on friendly terms and now so too has Ryan Davies. This can all be traced back to the firing of Jeff Gertsmann last year. Allegedly over a bad review he gave of Kane and Lynch. A review it quite honestly deserved. This latest departure marks the third of late and is a great blow to the Cnet website whose content has been in steady decline ever since Jeff left.

It has been rumoured that publisher Eidos, who had invested heavily in advertising on the site, were unhappy with the review and put pressure on parent company Cnet and threatned to pull the advertising fund.

While this represents a sad day for game journalists it is in fact not an uncommon practice.

Ethically I cannot agree with Cnets firing of Jeff Gertsmann, but at least journalists such as the recently departed Ryan Davis and Rich Gallup can act with thier feet sending a very clear messages to game companies and advertisers alike.

Manipulation of opinion like this will not be tolerated in any arm of the meida. That means you FOX NEWS!
