meta-meta-hilarious that HN readers are trying to censor this because it comes from a conservative outlet, even though it’s factually accurate.

This is only getting worse. You kids need to do some soul searching.

The insult is uncalled for. The article is untrustworthy because of the apparently biased and immoral nature of the publisher. The fact that they are conservative is a convenient thing to hide behind as a defense, but it is irrelevant. If they presented the same tabloid irrationality and hatred but with a liberal or non-political flavor, I would have the same opinion of them. There being something factually correct about this is a uselessly low bar for judgement. Luckily, what looks like a better source was already posted: https://www.mintpressnews.com/media-censorship-conference-ce...

Nothing in the article demonstrates irrationality or hatred. It’s not that there is something factually correct, it appears to be factually correct in its entirety. There is nothing wrong with it other than people assuming they don’t like who is saying it and reflexively trying to squash it on that basis alone.

Oddly, all of your replies seem to be focused on “canceling” this source for dubious ad hominem reasons.
