Well when the original comment is flagged (and not merely downvoted) on a topic that is just a call to activism (which, honestly, why is this here?), it's almost proof positive that in fact there are "sheeple" attempting to prevent anything that questions their narrative from entering the discourse. I image the wisdom of "I don't automatically trust my TV" will AGAIN only be judged as wise AFTER the fact. For now, it's unwelcome trolling of the typical hacker news user, who is barely distinguishable from the average reddit user.
