Does Consumer Reports have to get permission from the manufacturers of each
product whether it can be tested or not? Can and has a manufactuere successfully
instructed Consumer Reports not to publish the results of a test? How exactly
can you aim to be "independent" if you have to abide by such instructions?

Just curious to know.
