I, too, noted the "admirers" description included in the Associated Press story. Being dominated by liberal metro newspapers, The AP has tilted increasingly Left and PC in its reportage in recent years, permits opinion and editorializing within hard news reports. "Admirers" was the newswriter's opinion, included to poison the well of public opinion relative to the Commission's findings. If one should be cautious relative to the pronouncements of Professional Historians, one should be doubly so as to the reports in the News Media.
