I don't think "who knows" is a sufficient response to my questions.
To repeat and focus in on the pertinent question, do you (opinion) believe this is an appropriate article from a supposedly unbiased news source?
To expand, did Tom approach Klauss for comment? Or the otherway around? Are either of these appropriate to a specfic news article? One that doesn't provide direct evidence.
Would you agree or disagree that this article reads as an editorial with an agenda? What "news" does this bring to light?
