I am fine with people disagreeing, and I can understand that it hits close to home, but this is a matter of principle, I don't think it is desirable that HN turns into a news source, particularly for unfolding events.
HN is often praised for having a good signal to noise ratio, this is something that should be "defended".

As a matter of 'principle' I'd prefer it if you voiced your disagreement by submitting links that get voted to the homepage rather than by squelching the discussion by and dissemination of information to others that might be of use to them.
- nl 11y agoI'm unconvinced that HN should be your sole source of news. I think there are much better sources of breaking news, and it isn't clear to me that HN has any unique expertise to add. (I didn't flag this - I don't feel strongly enough either way.)
