Clearly defending the agencies (as the title suggests). Other articles point out racial or geographical bias (or their shortcomings before the financial crisis/great recession), but I’m not seeing anything that says they are outright “shitty and wrong” most of the time (or even often).
I had a teacher in high school that had us read an unlabeled and genericized (no direct references to the king) Declaration of Independence as an assignment. She told us that she once had an irate parent call the school to complain to the administration that she was having her students read “communist propaganda”.
I think about that a lot when I imagine the average voter.
