I’ll ignore the slight about “you must be new here,” but I don’t flag all political stories, just the ones that are high-noise, low-signal. But rather than arguing in the abstract, let’s look at the data. Here’s what I’ve flagged recently: > Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agreeing new rules > State Department Revokes Visas over Charlie Kirk Comments > Rand Paul: FCC chair had "no business" intervening in ABC/Kimmel controversy > Yes, Jimmy Kimmel's suspension was government censorship > Tylenol-maker shares hit after report RFK Jr will suggest autism link Each of those you can find on any other outrage-based pseudo-news site across the internet: Twitter will be in echo chamber flame wars over them, CNN will be in breaking news mode, NYT, WSJ, and the Washington Post will cover them, Reddit and Facebook and Instagram will push them… Are those the stories you’re really fighting to keep on here? Do you have objections to me flagging any of those? Who am I depriving of an opportunity to learn about those rare, insightful pieces? (And by the way, 3/5 of those were flagged by the community as well. So it seems like the community agrees with me more than it disagrees.)
