Well what did you expect them to do? Magazine subscriptions fell off a cliff as the Internet matured and no one wants to pay for online content.

I noticed recently actually seeing "Consumer Reports Best Buy" listed in ad copy for some products.
For decades they were extremely assertive about not licensing that sort of stuff out, to the point where advertisers used to say "A leading consumer magazine" if they wanted to hint about that.
I don't understand you, the term "Consumer Reports Best Buy" has been in use since at least 2004, which implies CR permitted the term to be used.

Not to become villains and scammers, obviously. That's the bare minimum of what you should not become no matter how bad your business is going.
Consumer reports that you pay for, or at least websites that have a policy of avoiding or declaring conflicts-of-interest, seem to be the reasonable middle-ground.
