The flagging is occurring because it doesn't take many people to flag a topic in order for it to disappear. So that is an issue of simple mechanics.

That there is bias is unmistakable. If you want to talk censorship you should look at the fact that a right wing opinion will get you downvoted on HN. If you don't believe it, try making an account and make some standard right of center statements. It's like playing with one hell of a golf handicap.
