problem is the prevalence of blog posts that look (appearance only) like articles. I'm not sure they are running those things through the same rigor checks as their standard articles.

Even the Comment is Free section has more integrity than some of the bizarre stuff I've seen lately, and yes, I found myself deeply disappointed in what I was reading last week - but they were all either blog posts or editorial articles (and let's face it, an editorial is just another way of saying 'in my opinion').

It would be helpful if you could link to some of the articles you are criticizing - the "no comments allowed" stuff.
