Please note that this is "The Washington Times", not the Washington Post. The Times is a small, far-right newspaper in DC that dabbles in conspiracy theories (Obama is a Muslim, Covid is a Chinese bioweapon) and anti-science reporting (rejecting climate science and second hand smoke effects): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Times https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Times
- CarelessExpert 5y agoKinda interesting watching the downvotes come out for comments like this. The Washington Times is right up there with OANN and should not be viewed as a serious source of journalism.
- wpietri 5y agoYup. I've been watching my comments about this bob up and down. That's typical for me whenever I post something that's directly critical of the US far right, even if it's neutrally stated and supported by references. For all the supposed concern about Orwellian social media censorship on HN, there's clearly a brigade of far-right supporters eager to downvote anything they aren't comfortable with.
- JohnTHaller 5y agoQuite a few people on HN downvote facts that they don't like. Here again: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27748820 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27748820
