It isn't. (Obviously.) Recent HN postings, political and newsy rather than technical, about the NSA, have included stories from: The Atlantic Wire (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6059446 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6059446), Security Week (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6054198 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6054198), USA Today (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5850606 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5850606, article from 2006 but posted a couple of months ago), C-SPAN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5899226 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5899226). Those were just the first few I found with a trivial Google search. There are a number of stories from the Guardian. That would be because they (1) have run a lot of stories about this stuff and (2) have a good website. Do you see a problem with that?
