Let me clarify (I'm being down-voted for stating my honest opinion which is in itself quite sad. I did not troll, nor was I disrespectful): I never said we should talk about the whole scope.

I certainly do not want to read news that would be to the far right of that diagram. But there are a number of soft skills you do acquire from sometimes leaning on the intersection between "hacker news" and just "news". I don't believe we should limit HN just to the very left because we'd miss those. That being said, this is HN and I don't ever want to come here for CNN content - that's why CNN.com exists.
