Forbes contributors aren't some unified body. They freelance contribute. I've read many good articles by contributors and many really terrible (and grammatically error-ridden) ones like this.
Just look at Kashmir Hil
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSfFdMeORO0l, a real live reporter for Forbes (as in, not a contributor) who was one of MSMs earliest bitcoin proponents. And the first reporter to live on only what she could buy with bitcoin for a week.
Forbes actually has a very good track record in terms of positive bitcoin articles.
