The articles are from two different discoveries, one in 2010 and this recent one. Both articles try to cast doubt on the claims made, in order to say that it could be something else. I wouldn't be surprised if there are dozens of similar articles regarding other discoveries in the fossil record or in genetics or any of the other fields that can help develop the theory of evolution further. It's the perfection of the conspiracy theorist's mindset.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
