It is not bad; she wrote it under duress and without a clue as to what was actually happening. Cersei made her write it; and she told Sansa that it would help her father, Ned.
Everyone who read it (Robb, Catelyn) knew it was bullshit right away. They knew it was a threat being expressed to them that Sansa would suffer if they did not bend the knee.
Arya’s objections are irrational and actually echo many Sansa-hating fans argument; just as Sansa’s arguments echo Sansa-fans arguments. You could literally read arguments about Sansa like that every day five or six years ago on the Internet on Ice and Fire pages. (Before it became this global phenomenon.)
But on the show, in particular, Arya’s arguments make no sense considering she played “cupbearer” to Tywin freaking Lannister herself for nearly an entire season.
Personally, I think Sansa missed a trick by not just telling Arya -- in explicit detail -- what she had experienced in the Red Keep and other places. Perhaps if Arya had known that she had taken beatings from grown men, witnessed their aunt murdered after she tried to murder her, been subjected to multiple rapes and beatings and threats from Ramsay, perhaps she'd lose the pyschotic gleam in her eyes.
This show.
