Fair enough and no, I am not such an observer that I would know all those things. But many of those “facts” are loaded with motives and intentions, which are not factual. (“Not factual” doesn’t mean false, it just means non-objective and unproveable.)
I suppose what I am getting at is that critics need to play a better, more empirical game if they are to succeed. This article is emotionally manipulative, by design.

- Drbble 15y agoLawsuits, government charges, settlements, contracts -- these all seem factual to me. Only some emotional words of keep "gall" (which I agree are manipulative, the facts should stand on their own) add non-journalistic color.
