Just examined that PCPlus article..no mention of Phorms shady past, and a deprecating remark alluding to "more exitable bloggers", which I will take the editor to task for (I'm a subscriber, and magazine subscriptions generally are falling.)
Interestingly the Star letter on the feedback pages take PCPlus to task for not covering the Phorm scandal..the editor of the news and features page, Alex Cox, responds by pointing to the (incomplete) article in the same issue, and says they like to get comments from all parties involved in an article, and Phorm were; "hard to pin down".
Sound familiar?
He also says that up to date stories can be found on their sister site
