      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

        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.

      Reality has a well-known liberal bias.
