    This is irrelevent, because this was clearly marked as an opinion piece in giant letters at the top of the page and at the start of the piece. There's no problem here with opinion masquerading as news. That's what the piece you cited talks about. It is interesting to hear what a former SEC employee's opinion is, whether or not you agree with him.

      On HN, all you get is the headline and (wsj.com). That's enough for people aware of the vast difference in credibility between their journalists and their propagandists, but every day there is a new batch of people learning about this despicable scheme to launder disinformation. So I'll skip this Fox News presenter's paywalled take on Green Subsidies, that has not been fact checked and be no worse off for it.
