Good sleuthing. I came across that story, too, in my meanderings around alternative sites. Your expose is a good reminder to double-check anything that I might be tempted to repost due to such a thing as confirmation bias.

Excellent research. Thanks. I spend some time studying the financial markets, which are as full of unjustified opinions as are political and medical discussions. Success comes from developing instincts of what doesn't feel right, and doing "due diligence" on what does. But no source is ever consistently reliable. It's like the grade school exercise where each student whispers a message to his neighbor, and it always comes out different at the end of the chain. Human nature. What Malone is pitching as mass formation leads us to accept whatever seems acceptable.
