CONTROVERSY

Pogue was the subject of a conflict-of-interest controversy regarding a Hard Drive recovery service review he conducted for National Public Radio 's '' Morning Edition '' program on September 12 , 2005 .2 Prior to conducting the review, Pogue received $2,700 worth of complimentary service from the company, but made no mention of this on the program. NPR's Vice President of News Bill Marimow has stated that this was clearly improper and that NPR should have either not aired the review or paid for the services themselves.
