Or, ya know… Its rule 4 of the community that “post title must match article title”.

Very common rule on news communities to prevent people adding heavily editorialised statements that have no mention in the article they’re sharing. You’re welcome to add your editorialising in the post subtitle/text as far as I’ve seen. Pretty simple.

I agree with your take on the original news article, fwiw - it’s a fair concern. But communities have posting rules and you broke them.

Well the original title is “Video gamer Electronic Arts to be bought in largest-ever private equity buyout valued at $55 billion” Which only points to “wow this is large exchange of capital”

And the text of the article is just investor-centric propaganda like
"PIF, which was currently the largest insider stakeholder in Electronic Arts, will be rolling over its existing 9.9% investment in the company. "

or meaningless puff like
“The IPO came seven years after EA was founded by former Apple employee William “Trip” Hawkins, who began playing analog versions of baseball and football made by “Strat-O-Matic” as a teenager during the 1960s”

Ultimately concluding with “By going private, EA will be able to retool operations without worrying about market reactions.”

“Hickey is unsure if the transaction is in shareholders’ best interest.”

“The financial backing and resources of the investor consortium should enable EA to increase its focus on long-term growth opportunities that may have been viewed as too risky or expensive as a public company,”

In other words no mention whatsoever of the ethical, cultural consideration nor even touching of the largest stakeholders in the transaction, the IP License Holders and their interest in allowing a foreign enemy nation administrative access to their computer kernel beyond their own user privileges.

This is nothing less than dereliction of duty by this “apnews” company, obviously misdirecting the attention of the reader and quieting their non-sense inapplicable fears such as return on investment levels for the C-Suite and the interest of “Freedom Capital Markets”.

These rootless bugpersons are colonizing our attention, spamming their virulent thoughts to distracts us from real, imminent dangers while our hostile leaders are selling us out to the highest bidder, instead of being lined up against a brick wall next to a deep communal ditch.

Looks like you need a blog. You could post your own articles.
