I intentionally omitted that bit because I didn't want to prejudice the bit I did quite. If something is true, does it matter who stated it?

Where is the true part? I see the subjective word "overinflated" and a misdirection about what "popular websites" do.

This is more a case of a press release being a press release no mater who says it.

True that people shouldn't be upset because they repelled a bill sooner than it could be implemented? How does that change anything if people wanted the bill.
