This article looks like it's part of the genre of "act like an authority on fact while giving a slanted view of reality that confirms my own opinions" literature that seems more and more popular nowadays.

Just because you think you're including a "liberal point of view" (the author leans right) doesn't mean both sides are really covered. Especially when you call that point of view "a scaremongering campaign from a biased “liberal” media" as the author does. Or... sorry, he says that "others" are calling it that. Which I guess means he can wash his hands of that politically charged statement.

I have to wonder if authors like this are actually trying to deceive their audience or if they genuinely believe that "the other side" follows the arguments they lay out. It feels like the author's version of democrats is what my crazy uncle would say they are and his only interaction with liberal ideas are from people making fun of them on his facebook feed.

Edit: I don't want this comment to come off as too angry, but I've been seeing more and more of this brand of "intellectualism" and it's been making me frustrated. I just wish that people would fairly represent their opponent and not pretend that their version of what's going on is unbiased.
