Reviews of any product or even a movie or a work of art are always subjective.
A reviewer whose affinity is towards traditional watch-making may never be able to do an objective review of an avant garde and off-the-narrow-path watch, even with all sincere intent. Personal preferences will surface inspite of restraint.
News is fact based while review is an opinion. Hence will be subjective.
Our own forum is a wonderful example of how personal preferences and opinions differ on brands and their offerings. And each person will be right in their own way as the perspectives vary.
I am therefore perfectly happy for anyone be it Hodinkee or anyone else to have and air their own pitches on watches. I think collectors are mature enough to decide what is good for them and what is simply puffery.
