I'm not going to quote anything else or what is missing, but overall:
Deep substance, neutral style or “pedantry” is not found in this article.
But there is one sided ideology propaganda, vilification and demonization, black and white thinking, omitting of crucial events, facts, and parties involved not just for duration since 2008 but just in 2022.
Strongly recommend avoiding this article and this author, unless you already wholly agree with him and want to reinforce your information bubble.
