If you want to attack his "caricature" you should be able to point out some way in which it is inaccurate.

Samsung has been convicted of paying shills to make false forum postings and reviews.

You are accusing apple of choosing who to give review units and press invites to based on who they prefer.

Every company does this. What else do you expect them to do? Provide a review unit to every blogger who asks for one? If you claim their behavior is underhand, you should be able to explain an alternative.

Comparing giving out review units to paying for shills is plainly absurd.

As to your comments about the review itself, they certainly reveal things that you would like to complain about, but none of these things were whitewashed or concealed by AnandTech, in fact they were fully exposed in statements, charts, and numbers.

Your chief complaint seems to be that you would have liked the review to have a vitriolic tone.
