I do agree with you in some respects, but you must also consider that HN isn't "pre-filtered" in the sense of a newspaper. Anyone can submit a link (which can make it to the front page), and you can click over to 'new' to see all links chronologically. I think that's a big flaw in saying "one news source" is bad in today's technology age.

- invisible 18y agoIt wouldn't very well be hacker news if it were submitted by non-hackers, huh?
