Steven Milloy isn't a reporter, he's a lobbyist who's worked for the tobacco industry (arguing that second-hand smoke is a myth) and the oil industry (ditto for global warming). This is an op-ed, not a news article.

From SourceWatch:

Milloy has spent much of his life as a lobbyist for major corporations and trade organisations which have poisoning or polluting problems. He originally ran NEPI (National Environmental Policy Institute).... NEPI was dedicated to transforming both the EPA and the FDA, and challenging the cost of Superfund toxic cleanups....

NEPI was also associated with the AQSC (Air Quality Standards Coalition) which was devoted to emasculating Clean Air laws. This organisation took up the cry of "we need sound science" from the chemical industry as a way to counter claims of pollution -- and Milloy became involved in what became known as the "sound-science" movement. Its most effective ploy was to label science not beneficial to the large funding corporations as "junk"....
