How is this a criticism and not a hit piece?
A “hit piece” is an article where the facts are deliberately misrepresented or inaccurate.
A critique is an article where the facts are accurate and the author analyzes those facts and states his conclusions.
A whine is when every critique that is posted is called a “hit piece” because the reader doesn’t agree with how the author analyses the true facts or the conclusions reached by the author (or other readers).
