Vocabulary like "rebuke" and "slam", prominently used by the FT, seems very exaggerated in the light of a quick read of the summary on the page you link to, and the 12-page summary (pdf) you can get there. The OECD's language is more measured.

And the FT has cherry-picked all the bad points.

I cannot reply to this better than Eric Kraus, a very successful Russian investment consultant, who says in one of his newsletters the following:


A Bargain at just $10 Million/year!
Your Combined FT/Economist Subscription

As one hedge fund manager ruefully admitted to us, in view of the Russian investment opportunities he had missed thanks to the snarlingly bearish coverage in the financial press, his combined subscriptions to the Financial Times and The Economist had cost him a couple of tens of million dollars over the past two years!
