Yeah, I know he has said things people don't touch, even some things that were downright wrong. (He has fucked up some "Frontline"/first reports.) But to blow smoke up your own ass during an article means that obviously JUST the message isn't good enough.

Are promotion and product quality always inversely proportional? Coca-Cola spends the most on advertising among all cola drinks, does that make it the worst?

No, that's not what I'm talking about. He is supporting his arguments by talking about his "Pulitzer worthy" writing. Like we're supposed to believe him because of his reputation which he hasn't earned yet. He hasn't actually won a Pulitzer, therefore be cannot be Pulitzer worthy. (He has misled people in some of his articles, making him tabloid worthy as well.)

He brings up some good evidence in this article then makes a lot of conjecture. And then leads the reader to believe that he has reputable writing instead of providing facts.
