I have to say this phrasing is so unlike you it crossed my mind that it might actually not be you.
I’m not here to cheerlead for any particular journalist, but I will simply point out that he’s been in the industry for decades, and writes for one of the UK’s major regional morning titles. Dismissing him out of hand just because you don’t like what he’s saying …. Well, you truly are making his point for him.
The real pity here is that I genuinely expected a bit more willingness to engage from you. Them’s the breaks I guess.
