It always amazes me the number of FR readers who do not bother to investigate the author of a piece or its provenance. In this case both the author and his publisher are well known uber-leftists. In this case Allan is whistling past the graveyard, and Axios is pushing him along.

This. This. This.
We have Freepers who attempt to cover their own lack of knowledge, their own lack of research, their own lack of curiousity, and approach the guy who knows what's going on, and ask a hundred stupid questions and hope to elucidate an answer that comes closest to their own personal, uneducated narrative.
It's like watching the kid in class who fears the fact that he hasn't studied a lick ask the teacher question after question to avoid being called on for the actual answer.
Retirement-bored Freepers who post preposterous articles from MSM Narrative agitprop machines precisely so they can make preposterous statements and then, when set straight with facts/citations/links, either disappear from the thread, or straight-up tell you to your face that's how they get real information -- by being purposefully annoying.
