But doesn't that first one go pretty far beyond announcing an area of
interest?  We don't want articles to be "pro-alternative medicine" or
"anti-alternative medicine".

Certainly, if he came across an anti-biased article, and made it more
neutral, that's wonderful, not a problem at all.  But if his intention is
to make it pro-, hmmm, not really right, eh?

The second one, I agree, is a perfectly valid goal.
