The ones that were journos first and enthusiasts second I do like reading the least that is certain, but again not being an enthusiast can help objectivity. But nearly all take their job quite seriously, and most definitely do not like dissing product.

I should also add that most can also earn a lot more money under a lot better conditions and work hours doing other things than following cars. But they do it because they like it.

Good points, but these guys (like the majority at CSU) wanted to be news readers first and foremost. Cars are not really their thing.
