RE: John, they call this editor's bias. Take business week for an opposite example. I can't think of another magazine that loves Amzn more. Please remember it was BW that was the first to refer to Amzn as the next Wal-Mart.

HJ. Everyone has some bias. That's life. However as an investor you need to be able to discern when a person/publication of "knowledge" and "authority" is so biased that it causes him to lose his objectivity and is no longer engaged in trying to "understand" the argument. But is merely engaged in scoring debating points. In other words did Barron's engage in "bashing" or was it a "resoned critique"?

The use of the headline AMAZON.BOMB leads me going in, that it was the former.

RE: Then you have Fortune that seems to be totally unbiased.

With regards to Amazon, are they positive, negative or neutral?
