While I don't agree with the name calling, I do agree with the sentiment. None of the articles being upvoted are even close to as absurd as your examples.

The example I keep seeing is people complaining about his flight itinerary. It isn't irrelevant, not even close. The fact that China allowed him to leave is very interesting. The fact that Russia has allowed him to enter is very interesting. If they let him leave and eventually make his way to Ecuador, that will be interesting as well. This is a window into the relationship being the US and China and Russia, and it turns out those relationships are very important. If you think this stuff is irrelevant, you aren't paying enough attention.
