Any regular reader of Gamespot has all the information required to form a useful opinion of whether or not they have biases or deficiencies. Personal knowledge of the staff is neither useful nor required.
No one, to my knowledge, is saying that all Gamespot staffers are evil; Gamespot's editorial biases, on the other hand, are readily apparent upon slight acquaintance with the site.
