Free speech is a defense for trademark infringement, especially non-commercial speech. Showing how someone could theoretically be confused is not the same as actually being confused. Consumers aren't confused by someone writing an article about a company... that's not trademark infringement. A trademark does not give you rights to prevent people from writing about your company.
