Call me old fashioned, but I expect the print edition of Consumer Reports to show pages of test results for pots, pans, tires, washers, driers, et.al. There's been a trend for some time now, to shorten the product reviews and direct readers to the web site for more in- depth recommendations and ratings, while more articles which are better suited for some other type of publication. Case in point: The January 2021 edition: 2 pages of ratings and recommendations for 3 products each, in 6 different categories. On the top right of the second page it directs readers to CR.org for more comprehensive reports/ratings on all the products listed, not just 3 each. Meanwhile, in the same edition there's a 10 page piece on why diabetes and Covid-19 is so dangerous. Important? Of course, but that's not why I subscribe. And just to add insult to injury, that article is immediately followed by a little gem entitled, "Learning to celebrate blackness with photography." Seriously?
