I would find him much more credible if he were, as Mule stated, upfront and honest about why he is doing what he is doing.
I'm certainly not suggesting he isn't telling the truth, or at least the truth as he knows it. But when you're sole motivation is money, and please, let's not kid ourselves into thinking he has some overwhelming altruistic reason for doing this, it seems to me you would be more tempted to embellish the truth if not fabricate it entirely.
He is going to go for whatever makes the best copy, and when faced with a decision on whether or not to err on the side of caution when relating specific circumstances, he will naturally be tempted to throw caution to the wind for the sake of sensationalism.
If he can navigate that line without compromising the truth, God bless him and best of luck to him, and he has every right to each dime he earns.
