Since the quote you copy mentions Mule Deer, I will respond.
I know Mule Deer, count him among my friends, and he’s straight as an arrow with his reporting and comments on paper and in conversation. I’m sure also that is not the standard today, and I also know there is significant pressure to take care of advertisers in articles. I am quite sure that when John Barsness writes or says something it is unvarnished truth.
