Dan, can we BAN all political threads unless we have fairness. There are a fair number of HN users that also want the USAID scandal covered with a post with 1500 comments. The time for HN to be left biased needs to come to an end.
- dang 2y agoJust as many people feel that HN is horribly right-biased as left-biased. I could give you hundreds of examples. Here are a couple: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42618465 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42618465 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42066014 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42066014 The way out of this logjam is to stop thinking in quantitative terms (how many 'left' posts vs. how many 'right' posts) and instead look for the highest-quality articles you can find. If there's a high-qualty article about USAID, meaning one which contains interesting information and isn't primarily hammering on partisan drums, I don't see why that wouldn't be on topic here.
