Maybe a little less paywall nytimes on HN as well. I dunno, but I find a lot of their journalism is just 90% padding. I suspect we see a lot of distrust in media isn't just that they're inaccurate, but they're often filled with non experts trying to sound like experts by padding nonsense speculation into their articles.
I mean, is this the same Kate Murphy that wrote "10 richest U.S. presidents before Trump takes top spot" I'm not saying she's bright. She's probably smarter there most and I'd love for her to comment in on HN. But I don't think she should be writing articles titled "Yes it's your parents fault"
- jayajay 10y agoNY Times is like a garbage can full of crinkled up rough drafts of poems, with a crinkled up Scientific American article somewhere near the bottom.

- jayajay 10y agoThe average user downvotes, flags, or attacks content they disagree with. I have only ever upvoted and responded with effort to people who do the same to me. If you feel like you need to ban me from this community, that is your prerogative.
- dang 10y agoThe standard here is to judge each article on its own merit, and this is a good piece, certainly above the median. The title is beyond stupid, but reporters don't write those. We changed it to a representative phrase from the text, as usual with baity titles.
