You have one very good point here: every use of statistics other than just printing "everything" has an "agenda" - whether this be obvious or even known.

Applying this to "pros" vs "bloggers":
The "pros" usually have the "free-market" agenda, which means they want to show that "less regulation" as defined as "the US model" is objectively "better". (They will have spent at least four years being taught nothing else.)

Let's not conflate "outlook" with "agenda". To call a point of view an agenda is a veiled accusation of intellectual dishonesty.

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper

Good point. I was not making that accusation.
"Outlook" or "point of view" would have been better.
