You can with the portion of the public that actually bothers to read details about the ports deal and reacts objectively instead of emotionally

Do you mean details like this that was mentioned near the end of the article

DP World on Thursday finalized its $6.8 billion purchase of Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co., the British company that through a U.S. subsidiary runs important port operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia. It also plays a lesser role in dockside activities at 16 other American ports.

Yes, details like that. Very good. Details such as those wouldn't concern any reasonable person when viewed in the context of proper vetting through the CFIUS (established by whom? Congress!!). But when viewed in the emotional context of "Arabs are running our ports!!" we end up with threads like this.
