This can't possibly be what the front page of HN is for. As the primary season gets into full swing, an all-pairs mapping of candidates to media outlet grudges will generate a story like this several times a week; the front page will have US horse-race politics pegged to it continuously.

I am not from the US, but this article "gratified my intellectual curiosity"[1] by demonstrating a clear pattern where it shouldn't exist, and, therefore, I upvoted it.

Personally, I don’t find it that “the NYT has lied” could ever satisfy my intellectual curiosity”; if anything it’s business as usual.

It's not about a particular news medium, political party, or politician. The article highlights a much deeper issue in general. That's why I found it to be an interesting read.

Nobody doubts your ability to connect the dots from horserace politics to intellectual curiosity (or, for that matter, from cat pictures and image memes to same). But garden-variety politics are off-topic for HN; you can use the search bar to see the mods repeatedly pointing that out.

I found this article to be not about politics, but about journalism. Otherwise, I would have probably flagged it myself. I understand, that for some people it might be hard to see beyond the politics of their own country.

Flag it then.
