      Liberal, yes. Progressive/left, no.

    Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

    I’ve never felt this way and generally avoid partisan media. Can you give an example?

      A couple of well researched examples https://www.tracingwoodgrains.com/p/how-wikipedia-whitewashes-mao https://www.tracingwoodgrains.com/p/how-wikipedia-whitewashe... https://archive.ph/ZqHRu https://archive.ph/ZqHRu To be clear, I'm sure anyone who wants to can dig up examples of other types of bias, and of course, truly excellent articles on non-political topics. If you restrict your reading to avoid anything related to contentious political narratives, you'll probably do ok. It just seems like the organization as a whole tilts in one particular direction, and this seems bad for something that is supposed to be a neutral source of knowledge.
