Fair enough PaulP I'll wear that.
I'm really just highlighting a wedge by mirroring the behavior of extremists, the people spoiling for a fight. That is why I posed the question, because the wedge has been provided by someone who job it actually is to smooth the water.
It can be read as inconsequential, as most people not politically motivated will read it that way, but those who are otherwise motivated can choose the opposite. A great example of that is the very choice of headline!
btw., Surveys in print media have suggested up to 85% of readers only read the headline or the first paragraph, the media know this and it forms part of the decision making process.
Am I being unfair?
