We can argue all day about whether these cuts will come from efficiency-based savings (cutting out waste/fraud etc) or whether they will actually “shred crucial dimensions of a safety net already full of of holes,” but I don’t think anyone can argue against the fact that the way he phrased that shows his extreme political bias. Which, again, is a bad way to start off a supposedly fact-based report if you want anybody to pay attention to it.

As seen from an extreme right point of view, every reasonable position that is not deep conservative is seen as biased far to the left.

If you're referring to me, I'm actually somewhere in the middle. But I simply can't stand seeing political propaganda masquerading as legitimate news or facts - on either side of the aisle. So when I see such things, I'm going to point it out.

What do think about the other content in the report?

He presents some interesting actual facts, but again his analysis is colored by the extreme left-wing view they he laid out in the first paragraphs of the report. Assuming his facts are accurate, those are what they are. It’s the assertion of his editorial, hunches, and political views as fact that I have a problem with.
