Well, English Wikinews has what you are looking for by having an
Opinions namespace. See, for instance,
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/U.S._presidential_candidate_Newt_Gingrich_wins_South_Carolina_primary

Given that we informally refer to it as "trollspace", I'm not totally
sure of the value of encouraging low-value, anonymous Internet
comments. We aren't craven pageview whores like our friends in the
commercial news website business who are quite happy to trade
intellectual standards (seriously, read a newspaper comment column)
for advertising money.
