How was my comment hateful? The far right is as indoctrinated as the far right. But I think most liberals don't realize how much of media is left-leaning.

- tomhow 1y agoI think "hateful" was unfair (it's against the guidelines to use words like that, no matter what it's responding to), but it was inflammatory, hence these replies. The very best kind of HN comment is one that presents a position many may be predisposed to disagree with, without activating charged reactions, and hopefully inspiring a few people to rethink things a little.
- tigerali 1y agoUnintentionally correct, I love it.
- BoredPositron 1y agoBecause you present something unproven and opaque against something proven and transparent and you want "them" to provide you with something you can't produce yourself. Every engagement with your initial comment would end in straw men arguments of your side. Even if you believe wikipedia is left-leaning I can still look at the battleground of the discussion behind the article. I don't see a feature like this on grokipedia. Your comment is ragebait aimed at one side of the discussion with rhetoric that's used by the other side. I am glad you only disputed the hateful in my initial comment because your bias is blinding.
