And you can see that anywhere else, why should every site talk about the same things?

- Jensson 1y agoBut this event was already covered, there is no need to also have this opinion piece as well. You can just read this thread which isn't flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45282482 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45282482
- Esophagus4 1y agoBut many of us have several sources of news, and we use HN explicitly because it is not another outrage-based social news aggregator. I don’t want to see HN turn into Reddit. I flagged this post as well. I don’t think HN needs political commentary on news unless it is particularly insightful. It’s explicitly against the guidelines. I didn’t flag Paul Krugman’s article today because, while political, it wasn’t just a political news softball. This doesn’t add much to the world’s overall understanding at this point. Does reading the 6th article about Kimmel today change the fact that “democracy is literally being dismantled?”
