In many ways, this is not unlike a TV (or other media) interview.
Choosing an apropriate interviewer is a very important. Censoring/editing an interview or review after the fact is not as practical an option as being sure to make good choice up front.
This rides the classic line that many media publishers face - how positive can one be without losing credibility (re objectivity).
My solution to this dilemma is to up front state that the repository of sites reviewed will be good to excellent sites only - anyone who runs a risk of being reviewed unfavorably will be advised after preliminary review and have the option of rebutting any constructive points publicly or passing completely on having their site included (and potentially lambasted).
Rather than trying to make bad sites look good (and tainting the validity of highly praised sites), the focus will be on sites which demonstrate a good profile to start with.
