Is it really a big surprise? The legacy media has noticed they don't have as much of an influence over people as they used to after their candidate lost the election, and so they're trying to understand how that could possibly hav

Maybe people wouldn't believe fake news if there were any respectable legacy media outlets left. When the media does everything it can to slowly erode trust ( http://www.gallup.com/poll/195542/americans-trust-m

Breitbart is far from a fringe community. Just because you didn't see it growing dramatically over the past few years it doesn't mean they have a small audience.

Bias can appear both in what facts they decide to cover and in how they cover it. The first part is the one people usually ignore and the easiest to hide. You can just fact check one person on their every sentence and not fact check the opp

Most of those sites are extremely biased. If you think that's a good idea it's because the bias leans towards what you agree with.

The message focus and the message it sends to people is wrong. The signal is that there are systemic problems that can't be changed because people in power are guilty of having power. "White privilege" falls into a mentality

Rates can't rise without significant damage to the economy. They've been 0 for so long for a reason. Last year they went up by 25 basis points and 2 weeks later the stock market plunged and stayed in that state for months.

Trying to shame someone who has different political beliefs via social pressure seems like bullying to me. One of the big reasons why so many people are voting for Trump is because people like you (and liberals in general) like to shame peo

It's disgraceful that you're trying to bully an organization based on the political opinions of one of their partners. You should be ashamed of yourself and of the damage you're doing to your country.

Clearly not enough people agree with that sentiment, otherwise the author wouldn't have written this blog post. And if you're doing this as a business and you want to succeed you need to take those basic things into account.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted when this is exactly right. If you don't want this problem then don't make something with low amount of content that people can be done with in just a few hours.

Don't make games that can be easily watched and not played. A game with tons of replayability can be played by let's players endlessly yet people will still want to play it themselves.

I mean that it bugged out because the moves it made after missing the exchange in the middle were moves that were obviously wrong, not in a "maybe it's up to something" kind of way, but in an objectively 100% bad kind of way.

Not everyone has to give a signal on why they disagreed with you as much as people don't have to give you a signal on why they agree with you. I don't get this argument. People may agree with 2 out of 5 things in a list and vote +

How does enhancing the bias solve the issue? By not adding the downvote button this bias is enhanced. By adding the downvote button this bias is diminished. It's not a perfect solution but it's better than doing nothing.
