Ha! I thought of your earlier comments when I saw that article this morning. This is exactly the sort if crap the spec needs to stop doing if they want anyone under the age of 55, or anyone over 55 with half a brain, to pay for their online content.

The survival of outlets like TVO, NPR, PBS, and closer to home, Joey Coleman's crowd sourcing campaigns, show that consumers not only recognize quality but are more than willing to support it financially.

Why should anyone pay for the spec's content when they willingly and frequently publish such rubbish? You have to build trust if you want people to support you. Feeble editorials about how 'trustworthy' you are arent going to cut it. There's only one way, and that is to produce quality content. Publishing the likes of Frank Gue is pretty much the polar opposite of that.
