They aren't around anymore because they told the truth. Manufacturers give their advertising dollars (and free products) to the magazines that avoid harsh truths and gush over their products. Period.
All of those other magazines failed because they told the truth? Sorry, I don't buy that.

So where are all these writers now? Given that "blogging" is basically free now, how many have continued to write true and honest articles without the threat of advertising backlash?
