Has Roger ever compromised his integrity to overrate an actor/director? People hate Dave cause he's broken his own scale multiple times

Yeah that's cause pro wrestling is fucking dead and no one gives a shit about it. The leading wrestling show is only doing 900k live US viewers lmfao, who cares about this industry

Ebert has written more coherently on professional wrestling than Meltzer ever has, the few times he wrote about it in the handful of wrestling related reviews he did.

also Ebert never broke his scale and on his blog even argued against the absurdity of doing such a thing on more than one occasion

honestly, no. any biases he had, he always fairly pointed them out in the review for full disclosure, he was never misleading.

however i think he did underrate a few films because he didn't the outcome or message, like The Life of David Gale which was not a great film but Ebert gave it zero stars due to the content/statement of the picture rather than the quality. also his vehement hatred of certain slashers, particularly I Spit On Your Grave because of the rape scenes.

he had his favorites. i don't think he ever compromised his integrity, that would be a huge stretch to say that.
he was big on some filmmakers i didn't care for as much like werner herzog but nothing unreasonable

He was based. He supported and befriended Scorcese, helping him come back to moviemaking after almost snorting it all away. Then he'd give Scorcese's films bad reviews if he thought they stunk, because some journalists had integrity, back when both existed.

Ebert got old, cranky, crusty and elitist very fast at the height of his fame and his views reflected on the films he reviewed and just like Meltzer was glorified for nothing. He was just a good reviewer at one point, a sea of others - that's all.

A lot of Ebert's opinions were wrong and retarded desu. He still had more of a clue than Meltzer though.
