The era of trusted movie critics like Siskel and Ebert has ended, replaced by a promotion-driven system where reviewers are paid to praise films. Many "exclusive" celebrity interviews are revealed to be "canned" junkets where the interviewer and the star are never actually in the same room. This lack of honesty in entertainment journalism is attributed to the consolidated ownership of networks and film studios.
