So basically you are poopooing an article you didnt read because you got bothered by one decontextualized pull quote.
“The article might have been well-informed and factual, but starting with such an absurd premise, I couldn’t maintain interest long enough to find out.”
why bother commenting if you haven’t read it or even knowing if the “absurd premise” is even in fact a premise required to support the rest of the thing?
