Dave's preference for AEW over WWE is not like an NFL reporter having a favourite team, it's like a football reporter preferring the NFL over the AAF.
What's the difference between Dave's preference for AEW and an NFL reporter with a favorite team?

The problem is it's only in wrestling that reporter and critic are the same job. Roger Ebert didn't break down box office figures in his reviews or talk about the importance of the Chinese market in opening new franchises. Similarly, financial journalists don't go finish their stories about General Mills share price fluctations by talking about their favourite Haagen-Dazs flavours.
I am a heterosexual man, this is enough for me to not even want to pirate the shit.
E-drones have been complaining about Dave being "biased" against WWE for literal fucking decades
It popped back up when he started praising New Japan when they turned the company around, and now that a new company is around the narrative has switched.
He's an innocuous, white-bread 60 year old man that runs a newsletter and does a podcast. Dave haters treat him as a bigger deal than his own fans do
Ebert literally wrote all the time about box office numbers and the business side of the industry but okay. He just didn't include them in his subjective reviews. Dave does the same thing

The issue is Dave shouldn't combine roles of sports journalism and public relations officer, that's censorship bro
