Just ask me if I read the article, or state that you don't think I did. I did read it by the way, and my main complaint is with the title being designed to use innuendo to draw clicks. I consider it beneath the dignity of any good publication that claims to be news. The LA Times lost the plot on this a long time ago. As extreme as Larry Elder was (and yes, i think he's extreme and wouldn't vote for him), when they called a man born and raised in Compton "the Black face of White Supremacy" while providing uncritical coverage of his opponent, a wealthy white man born into the Getty fortune, I stopped taking them seriously. I was probably late on the game with that compared to most HN readers. It was embarrassing to see a once-great publication devolve into being completely unaware of the Onion-like absurdity of their headlines. FYA (just trying to help Dang out here), asking if someone read the article is a violation of the HN rules. I've been guilty of it myself in the past, and Dang corrected me. I try hard to help him out, because he's a good moderator and has a hard job.
