Dismissing a story because it's from Fox and I know HN is dominated by left thinkers and I'm in a minority as a retired software engineer who prefers right lean

Dismissing a story because it's from Fox and I know HN is dominated by left thinkers and I'm in a minority as a retired software engineer who prefers right leaning Fox to the majority left leaning every single other news site on the planet...but that's what I like. Here are some reference links Google Gemini found, though they all point to the same site it looks like: https://www.dtcc.com/legal/rules-and-procedures https://www.dtcc.com/legal/rules-and-procedures https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.dtcc.com/-/media/Files/Downloads/legal/service-guides/Settlement-Service-Guide.pdf https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.dtcc.com/-/media... https://www.dtcc.com/managing-risk/financial-risk-management/market-risk-management/dtc-market-risk https://www.dtcc.com/managing-risk/financial-risk-management... https://www.dtcc.com/-/media/Files/Downloads/legal/policy-and-compliance/DTC_Disclosure_Framework.pdf https://www.dtcc.com/-/media/Files/Downloads/legal/policy-an...

    I am welcome to dismiss a source that has demonstrated a willingness to deceive for political purposes. I am welcome to spend my time on more fruitful efforts than getting the receipts on obvious misinformation. If you are insulted, that was not my intention, it was a simple observation that your comment and behavior did not match up at all with the discussion. In addition to spreading this misinformation by posting it to HN, you also encouraged self-destructive behavior with very bad financial practices in your comment: > We have no more 401K or other retirement accounts and do not invest in the stock market, except for a couple share of IBM I bought years ago when I worked there. > So we're covered as I see it. We only use banks with money in savings, checking and CD accounts. One of the more fruitful efforts is trying to point out that this destructive info has no basis in reality. This is not about left/right as you tried to incorrectly frame it, this is about basic information hygiene and not letting bad info stand undisputed.

    Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  Please don't cross into personal attack. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    I fully agree with the guidelines, but did not think that anything in my comment was a personal attack! Presumably it's "there's something that is not connecting in your mind" but I will reflect on it and ask others to help guide me to the apparent insult.

      Yes, that's the part I was referring to. I realize you probably didn't intend it that way, but people commonly underestimate the provocation in their own comments (and overestimate the provocation in others'), which leads to quite a skew.
