Oh yes, definitely. Whenever I read them it feels strange, understanding the technical context of Telegram. He never mentions that WhatsApp is actually end-to-end encrypted. He does continue to talk about 'encryption', though. It's very very misleading. It just seems to be bashing WhatsApp without talking about Telegram's shortcomings too. He obviously isn't going to be non-partisan but it would be nice if he would be a little more honest.
