Oh I'm not objecting to presenting some parts as negative and others as positive. I'm objecting to presenting some parts as uncontested truth, while others as mere "activists say" (especially since what those activists say is simply what is written in the law - there's no room for opinion).

Absolutely; that is a standard tool of biased writing.

See also the "exonerative tense".
