I voted for AMDmb, but I need to find the story that started this all. It has something with the MML2, right?

You're saying you voted without having read the original article ;D .... i guess you're unbiased at best :D

Well, I've read enough of THG's articles to see that they are biased towards Intel.

You voted appropriately. You would've voted the same way had you read AMDMB's editorial anyhow.

This Editorial got the ball rolling I believe
http://www.amdmb.com/article-display.php?ArticleID=243

and this thread discussed it in length , allthough it digressed around page 20 or so into a "he said she said" with a couple of
gamers who where there claiming Ryan lied.

Honestly, when I look at this whole thing I don't see the huge deal about it. It goes on every single day everywhere. AMDMB is trying to make a mountian out of a molehill, thier hits have soared since this garbage I would assume, and they are loving it.

People claim left and right THG is biased twords Intel, that of course get's back to amd. So you drop them a little exclusive, the people at THG arn't dumb. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. They might alienate a couple smaller sites but overall you're reaching a larger audience. If a huge site shows up you let them in on the exclusive, you may alienate THG some but once again, you reach the larger audience.

yeah, it's funny that people thought their beloved hardware review sites would never become marketing tools for big companies trying to get even bigger... sheesh
