There's a difference between corporate culture being 'apolitical' - and the responsibility of a large curated network to worry about misinformation. Dang will kick you off HN for all sorts of reasons - that's his right, and it's generally not 'political'. It's hard to ban 'fake news' without maybe getting possibly political, but it's not rocket science. There are already all sorts of things on FB and Twitter that are censored, and it shouldn't be 'political'. If you say you want to murder someone, well, then that's a problem. Now email that's different. If you want to be a moron over completely private network, or, you want to be a moron on your own website, then go ahead.
