I applied their advice: "It’s a crucial skill to know how to read the news as it’s presented to us, whether it’s CNN’s rightward swing or the British media’s achingly inescapable royal propaganda during the coronation. One should be able to dissect how a story is told, who is telling it, and what the intended endgame is." and stopped reading right at this paragraph.

Agreed. The author writes mostly about celebrity gossip, and this article is no different. I flagged it.
