Mikael Wood is the bigger BTS friendly critic at that paper. This guy did give a positive review to BE though.

Lazy journalism.

Western media uses statements like this for engagement. It gets the fans who support whatever group the article is about to click on it and it gets the group or groups that were shaded to click as well. It’s a clever move
