I think the idea with that kind of article is to present the information and leave the reader to decide for themselves. Notice that he does not do this in some of the articles. His 9/11 article for example, is almost disgusting, very one sided.

However, he doesn't deny the plastic graves, he doesn't deny the evidence against flouride. He leaves the peak oil argument for the reader to form their own opinion.

Overall, I think these things surfacing in a MSM outlet is pretty positive!
