Yes
He's not universally considered a genius on the matter, is he? Nobody in TV tells you what's good or bad music, as we clearly have different tastes. But they do about drawings and sculptures. Why?

Plenty of TV, radio and written media is opinionated about music.

And you cand find all type of opinions out there
in favour or against what you like. How many art critics go out there saying "that white exposition was awful" Noone, because the other critics would send the dogs for him.

In the same way that much media only writes positive reviews of music
because it drives the industry and the buyers. In the same way as music these galleries have to appeal to a broad audience, in the same way as in the music section in HMV you have all types of audience, young, old, metal, pop, dance etc. If you don't like country and western, you walk past the country and western aisle. Saying HMV is shit because it stocks some country and western is defeating the purpose of HMV and the enjoyment you can get from all the other types of music available there.

Have you ever listened to The Arctic Monkeys?
I've never seen a review of them that's not been wanky fawning of the highest order, yet they make most right-thinking peoples ears bleed.

strangely, their singer did some good stuff
under the name Last Shadow Puppets.

Arctic Monkeys are wank though. See also: the Strokes. Nothing new there, yet they got rave reviews. Despite being very ordinary.
