Yet a lot of Weinstein stories weren't flagged and two made the frontpage. Looks like bias, so was asking if this kind of implicit bias was common in HN. You flagged Argento's story, did you flag Weinstein's too when it came out?
You may want to re-read the guidelines. Especially the bit about emailing the mods.
I'm not asking the mods why Argento's story was flagged. I'm asking the community if HN has a double standard on what news are "acceptable".
Yet again, you don't understand flagging.
You probably already know the answer. There is certainly a liberal bias in the readership and that bias in naturally reflected in what is flagged.
I'm not sure that's true. Every single post about climate change or global warming, for instance--no matter how tech-related the story may happen to be--gets flagged almost immediately. That's not being done by liberals.
