For the purpose of getting reviews and recommendations on new bicycles for road touring and back country trail riding, what magazines would offer same?

+1 on Adventure Cycling for road and some off-road touring.

If by "back country trail riding" you mean real MTB riding, probably Dirt Rag is the most factual and least influenced by advertisers.  

Most other bicycling magazines are nothing but mouthpieces for their advertisers.

BICYCLING MAGAZINE treats us like a curiosity at best and routinely shows their ignorance about touring.

I've seen it better described as "BUYcycling" magazine.  It certainly is the most sophomoric bicycle magazine out there and has almost no relevance for the bike tourist, or for that matter, any adult reader.
