Returning to the subject of the section, please 
 Neither Salon nor USNWR authored any quotes in the article. The bizarre attribution violates WP:MOS "The author of a quote of a full sentence or more should be named", and WP:RS. One of the keys to NPOV is proper attribution, which is why the bizarre attribution of partisan opinions or spin to publications in general, rather than the authors, and who they are, violates this principle. It also represents Opinion as fact, another egregious violation of NPOV, and thus probably WP:BLP. Please stick to the topic of this section.
