Whenever I saw the guy on Breakfast Television, he seemed reasonably knowledgeable. That said, it was only on really simple topics such as, "Yes, you should pay off credit card debt before investing" or the basics of how an RRSP works. I never looked into his business.
But this reminds of an IT "expert" that I know that writes the occasional piece for the newspaper. He is a senior project manager with lots of experience, but I would never hire him. In this realm, the really good IT folks do not have time for the media. They are too busy with real work that pays them a lot more. They also don't need the PR, since they have more work than they can handle.
