Nah. It looks like alternative press follow-ups. They tend to run  
hard with their exclusives.

Put another way - if he's significant enough to have an article then  
the alternative press article that comes up as the first Google hit  
on him is significant enough to mention.

Anyway - this got reprint in the Village Voice - quite a major paper.

I'm troubled here by the shifting argument. First it's from a  
tabloid. Except it's not from a tabloid - it's from a reputable paper  
that did original research. But then when it's pointed out that NOR  
isn't relevant to this either it becomes insignificant.

Still not the case - if we're having an article on the guy, this is a  
sensible thing to put in it.
