No, I am not.  I am conflating what the article says and the article does.

What the article *does* is smear a human being.  The fact that our rules don't
consider it to be a POV violation as long as as the article doesn't state a
position is a loophole in the rules.

You can't neutrally discuss how a person is compared to shit.  Not in any
real-world sense.
