If you're going to quote an article, you shouldn't leave out context that changes the meaning of the sentence you're quoting -

  "The 75th anniversary commemorations of the dastardly Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
   seem to be a great gift to the Alt-Right’s xenophobic nationalists."
It's the 75th anniversary commemorations that seem to be a gift - not the attack itself (obviously).

Ah yes you're quite right! Apologies to all. I'd misread that, although I think my point still stands: I'd like to read about the story and not hear about politics in a foreign (to me) country.
