That seems unfair. You could accuse them of hyperbole and being pessimistic, but they present a lot of facts and the report in general seemed to be even-handed. I didn't see an anti-Obama bias

Perhaps, but he does seem to have a point. If nothing else, the Obama administration seems to agree with William's comments. They have publicly signalled the importance they attach to Twitter (e.g during the Iran election trouble last year)
