until I read the last paragraph of the OP. That's very telling language and rather undermines the credibility of the previous paragraphs... Undermines, not discredits. It sounds interesting, but the last paragraph is misleading, sometimes not factual and sounds as if written by a non-English speaker who has a bone to grind. It's certainly not eloquent journalism to say the least. Oh well.
