That's because I only link the lousy ones.

He's capable of producing some decent articles. But stuff like this just makes me cringe.

Maybe I'm just missing the distinction: perhaps he's not a "journalist", he's a "reviewer". One supposedly presents issues, the other delivers an opinion.

But delivering factual errors with your opinion is still a bad idea!
