[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the chat Sietsema asked for a documented instance where he has shown bias in his review.

[url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/28/AR2008102800948.html]Here's one about ten years ago, where Sietsema eventually apologized for his review entitled: "At Commissary, Cheap Eats Don't Come Good"[/url]:

"[b][i]Note to readers[/b]: I should have recused myself from reviewing Commissary. I had a personal relationship with one of the principals a couple of years ago and in retrospect, I can see how that could create a misimpression that it compromised my objectivity."[/i]

This means [url=https://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/news/city-desk/blog/13056396/the-commissary-responds-to-sietsemas-first-bites-review]you won't see any Sietsema reviews of EatWell DC's array of restaurants[/url].

[url=https://archives.cjr.org/behind_the_news/regret_the_error_110708.php][i]Columbia Journalism Review[/i] also covered[/url] this episode.

I found this episode rather compelling. I’m guessing there’s a gag order preventing Sietsema from commenting.

What this means, though, is that Sietsema chooses carefully which questions to answer in the course of his public outreach.[/quote]
