no. contrary to what you believe they DO give popular albums good reviews sometimes. look at radiohead, just as an example.
they do not review popular music as often, no. i wouldn't either. it's not that i refuse to like all things popular, it's just simply that i do not LIKE the music that is getting the most airplay these days. face it, much of popular music has degenerated into a fashion show. if bands whose music i actually liked was popular i'd still like it. so would pitchfork.
besides, when people take a thing like this too seriously it makes more people want to read it and therefore sparks its popularity. so you're shooting yourself in the foot.
