Judging from the fact that they are visible and not blocked, I would say pretty clearly wrong.
They are probably getting flagged as most political controversies (regardless of the ideological bent of the story or who it seems to favor) do, because plenty of people here either (1) don't want to see that in general, or (2) don't think HN is a good place for it, even if they have no problem with it generally.

- etrautmann 2y agothis is a reasonable perspective, but an alternative one is that when all of the news is hard, we may want to partition our time between actively choosing to take in political news vs. anything else we're looking for. I'm not pushing one view, but I think it's reasonable for someone to be politically informed and engaged but want to have some venue free of that information for times when they're looking for that.
