I've seen an increase in the number of NLP bots that give snippets, but they're far from consistently being accurate. Are there any services that can give you summations like this, kind of like the WSJ's What's News section?
If this structure is lacking, it'll be obvious to sentiment analysis, that there are too much free floating statement, and the article either requires too much outside knowledge (in field expertise), or it's just gossip.
And of course it can be "easily" estimated how novel the statement is, what quality the sources and support are, and so on.
I seem to recall a similar weekly service for HN but I can't recall the name of it.
Maybe http://www.hackernewsletter.com/ but that's an email.

In other words, they want to publish their rants, but are unwilling to discuss their views with anyone, not even the very people they are criticizing. This may be a valid (although insane) approach for a blog, but somewhat contradicts their stated goal:
