But where are the factual inaccuracies?
The things you point out aren't factual inaccuracies. It seems more that you don't like how the facts were presented, and that's ok. With respect to #5, you say he made up the quote. That's nice...how do you know that? It's 'made up' because you say so?

Of course he made that up about a "wall street insider".
That's an old trick used every week by gossip magazines: "An insider for Jennifer Aniston told US Weekly that yes she really wants a baby."
As for the factual inaccuracies...If I say you "ran to the bank to get a loan so you didn't use your own money" instead of: "Like every other business in America you borrowed money" then yeah, he's leading you to think what he wants you to think.
I don't call that "reporting". I call it mind control (trying to make you believe something). If I read that piece and didn't realize what Rolling Stones politics are...I would swear that Romney is 100% EVIL and is kicked back rubbing his hands in glee a the very thought of destroying people's lives.
