They neither understand WHY so many people are pissed off, or JUST HOW MANY are pissed off about this; the amount of boos in a mostly moderated convention audience should have been a rude awakening, but I doubt it was, that's just how conceited they are. Giantbomb's PAX presentation was co-hosted by Quinn, if you didn't know.
I was watching the panel with the Escapist (http://prime.paxsite.com/schedule/panel/...massive-qa), and one guy claimed he wasn't a journalist and a few moments later called himself a newsman. Then another one of the guys called himself a journalist. Awkward laughter ensued, but only on the part of the panel - the audience was silent as the grave. Also, they never fully addressed a guy's question from the audience (his name was Ben) regarding ethics in journalism and reviewing.
