If a news item isn't textually embedded in a larger narrative then it's just embedded in the default narrative, which can easily be just as wrong, however "not weird". And it's not like it's neutral without any associated context, since even a simple factual report is loaded with attention bias. Social media ... like HN ... provides a more diverse set of contexts to the news of the day. That's an improvement compared to giving the default context free reign. It might not feel like that, because it's not as pre-digested and you have to chew on it before swallowing or spitting.
