I read a lot of the WoS stuff and most of it is excellent. Much, much better than what our so called journalists produce. His style might not suit everybody but it's the facts he digs up that are important. He seems to have the ability to see right through what the politicians are up to. He is brilliant at tying things together from different stories sometimes months or years apart.
As for the comments, to me, they seem pretty reasonable and restrained. I don't know if he moderates and censors them before they go up (must be pretty time consuming if he does) but there is plenty of stuff on the TAMB which gets far closer to "offensive" than anything I've seen on WoS.
