I really enjoy the political discussions that show up on HN. It’s the only place online where I can see both sides of something being debated intelligently. It’s also the only place where I can post something that goes against the grain of the majority and still be upvoted. That said I think the “if they’d cover it in the TV news…” is a good rule, just to limit discussions to novel topics.
