You expect substance from the comments while these articles lack any form of evidence? Stop muting every kind of discourse. Sometimes civil unrest (in the form of these rants) is needed. As I already stated above, the WSJ has a large audience and provides no evidence for serious claims. Claims that could be enough for someone like Trump to start a war on a nation (even nuclear).

Being important does not make something on topic. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- dang 9y agoTo add a bit to what Scott said: one important reason to post substantive critiques of bad information, instead of flamey rants, is that a flamey rant makes it easy for readers to dismiss what you're saying. Assuming your view is correct, and the information you're ranting about really is bad, the net result is that by trying to defend the truth you actually discredit it, or at best make it seem partisan.
