Yantis is so good. Another exact copy and paste from another article. What a joke of a news reporter he is.

If that is indeed how you feel, you can either ignore SAL and no longer read Yantis' articles, or, you can start your own news site and show us how much better a journalist you are than he. I challenge you to do the latter.
Since you pay nothing to see all SAL has to offer, your complaint is akin to looking a gift horse in the mouth.
