It is bewildering how many here are against this post staying up; no matter whether it's true or not, it's an interesting article! If you feel it is not true, why take it down rather than simply state your opinion in the comments? Do we not have the freedom to discuss and form our own opinions about it?

Because this is Hacker News not Political Conspiracy News.

For every one of these posts that are manually forced to stay on the front page we lose an actual relevant, technical post that we never see and get a chance to comment on.

Given there are 500 comments already and more to come, do you not think it’s been demonstrated the community has an interest in discussing it?

I’d argue most of those 500 comments are comments wondering why in the world this wasn’t deleted/flagged instantly.
