You have to read the actual paper, Kal. If you want it, I can post it to you. It's too large to attach here.
I haven't read this article yet, however what he's saying is that depsite the redshift showing that "X" quasars are further away than "Y" quasars, there is no apparent slowing down of the light due to time dilation caused by expansion. Now, that means this...either expansions is wrong, redshift is wrong, or if they're both correct then there must be some other mechanism causing this apparent anomaly. It could also be that his sample size is too small and he hasn't taken into account enough observations on a large enough set of quasars (a possibility), or he has misinterpreted what he has seen (possibly), or he hasn't fully looked at the power spectrum of the quasars across all wavelengths and fully considered the environment from which this light is emanating from. Most of these surveys are done in the vis-UV end of the spectrum. That means at most quasar's distances that light would've been originally in the hard x-ray and gamma ray region of the spectrum when it was emitted. That means a whole new set of circumstances has to be taken into consideration when dealing with its origins.
