In general, magazines are served much better by trying to be absolutely neutral, and most take that really seriously. If anything PopPhoto's bias seems to be in finding at least something nice to say about everything.
As far as I know they have done just that several times and also threatened to do so, if magazines/reviewers attitude change to more favorable..... last case is just few weeks old...
