You absolutely can bring it up. Now, here's the issue though; "fake" implies that they fabricated or exaggerated stuff, not just skewed the coverage. If you can provide solid evidence that the WSJ fabricated this news piece you could probably get this link off of HN.

I don’t think it should be banned even though I agree with yo that the WSJ editorial is wrong more often than not. I feel this way because it is (inexplicably) widely read. Far better to know what a lot of people hear and believe than to live in a bubble.
My criteria are all about size and reach. For example I wold consider a flat earth discussion (99% parody, 1% wtf I assume) a waste of HN attention bandwidth.

It’s not news, it is an editiorial. Although I consider the modern WSJ editorial board to be pretty loathsome, it isn’t fake news.

Surely it's better to discuss these stories publicly and make errors / biases known than to just pretend they don't exist?
These are clearly hit pieces and as my parent mentioned, part of a coordinated effort to undermine Google. They did the same thing with YouTube. Everyone is worse off because of wsj.
