As an outside observer most of American news reporting seems totally ridiculous. If the German government announced a retraining / job initiative there would be a factual article in serious print media. Any criticism included would most likely be a citation of an opposing party representative, labor or business interest. Opinions by the paper on the issue would be kept separate.

This article in contrast mixes opinion and negative rhetoric with facts. It reads like they want to make sure I will have a negative opinion of the program, while I typically don’t read the paper to be convinced of one thing or another.
