From the comments at The Hill, I think they reprinted the WSJ editorial to rile up the Dems because the WSJ was being played by Barr and President Trump. Geeze, these guys think the Steele dossier is mostly proven fact, among other crackpot things.
I suspect many of those who comment are Media Matters operatives.
I suspect this because when I call them out as Media Matters operatives they become angry.
Media Matters don't like people reminding people Media Matters uses operatives to promote their agendas.
