Great idea!! That will be a fair un-biased review! |
He does not own the magazine. He is an editor. You might want to look into what that means. He is responsible for making sure that the information provided is true and correct and does not get the owner sued or held liable for false advertising, or slander by making any claims that one product is better than another without proof to back up that report. Of course as the editor he does not have to prove that an ad is factual. Those are paid for by the vendors. As the marketing director he should have the ethics to make sure that what he is advertising does not put their company in hot water by making claims that are false.
The owner must decide on what stories are written and how fair and balanced comparisons are done. Otherwise they would have had law sutes from some of the RC manufatcutrers already on camparisons between different vehicles over the years. This is why I am suggesting that we all write to the magazine's owner/CEO/director or whoever runs this rag and request some testing/results on Lipo comparisons. If you want results in this matter then we have to step up as a major support group and demand some level of reality in their advertising. Or put together some level of equal, factual testing of our own that is unbiased in any way and find some varifiable truth of our own which would hold up in a law sute and do something about this. All of this bashing in someone else's private site is doing nothing to stop that maddness.
