LOS ANGELES (AP) — The industry group that hosts the annual gadget show known as International CES is dropping reviews website CNET as the picker of its "Best of CES" awards. It says CNET reviewers' objectivity was compromised by the site's corporate parent, CBS Corp.

The Consumer Electronics Association also elevated the CNET writers' initial pick for the best gadget of the show, Dish Network's Hopper with Sling, as a co-winner along with a gaming tablet called Razer Edge.
