How can a magazine be part of/own/sponsor a shop ... goes completely against the principle of unbiased journalism.

 

By definition they now have a vested interest in any review they do!

 

Yeah, I agree. I thought the idea of a magazine was to entertain and educate, and drive any sales stemming from that to the various brick and mortar stores. I personally dont see how they can be objective if they stand to benefit financially from selling it in their own store.
