I don't think any paper presents a balanced view, they all have their own angles, the DM certainly do, but that doesn't mean everything they print is false or twisted. Their Essays by invited commentators or authors are always good reads. I read a wide variety of papers, I find it interesting to compare different perspectives and then make up my own mind.
I think you can safely read the above DM article on Guinness (not McGuinness) it's just as true as the article on him was, but you'll never have an opinion on that as you won't read it.
