Billymagnum,
I might sound impartial but is my assessment. Im not saying that one is better than the other. But I don't have the microphone and persuasion power that Brad has just by being in the leading gaming podcast. I hope you can see that. They should have more responsibility if they don't want to annoy part of their audience.
I appreciate where you're coming from, I also know it sucks to hear people you like diss the things you enjoy.
But..
The simple truth is that Giant Bomb doesn't believe what you believe, and you'll find many of us in the community do not either -
1) If their personalities alienate some viewers, that's OK.
Like many said, GB basically shat on the PS3 daily and those of us who had Sony systems just grinned and took it. No biggie. I'm not here because GB is impartial and has exclusive coverage - I'm here because I like Brad and Jeff and just want to hear what they have to say. Obviously I wouldn't support them being hateful but if Brad actually thinks the XB1 is no good right now than whatever. It's the Wii of this generation for him.
2) An audience does not make you a role model
This is like asking NBA stars to be good people. You're missing the point of why they are famous. Jeff is very well known for providing hilarious and aggressive opinions. Usually he is even handed but all the same extremity is part of his delivery.
I hope this doesn't sound harsh but I think that you need to think about why Giant Bomb is popular at all, and it's because they are frank and honest, not because they try to be politically correct. Also try to consider the place of the Xbox One and how last generation it was the Wii and PS3 in that position and the generation before that it was the GameCube and Xbox.
Edit: consider also how the Ouya is treated.
