There's a peculiar detail in this story. It refers to "the 'Association of American Physicians and Surgeons' — a discredited libertarian medical organization."

There's a peculiar detail in this story.
It refers to "the 'Association of American Physicians and Surgeons' — a discredited libertarian medical organization."
1. First, why the quotes around the name of the organization? Is this not its actual name?
2. Discredited? By whom? Isn't "discredited" an objective judgement -- and thus, one the author should support with a rationale?
3. Further, it's odd that of all the examples mentioned, the AAPS is the only one not linked to. Why? The release must be online, if Facebook linked to it.
Curious.
