Why is this propaganda on hacker news?

Your comment adds nothing to this discussion! Perhaps you shluld read up on the site's posting guidelines.

It violates the guidelines as off-topic.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon.

I mean, civil nuclear is the main topic that drew me to HN (that and cybersec), isn't this about civil nuclear safety? Or did I misread the article? Also, it reads like a Dilbert strip, which is pretty much on-tone with HN.

No, this isn't about civil nuclear safety. This is about the safety of nuclear weapons.

The would suggest it is even more important a topic, no?

calling propaganda spam propaganda is against site posting guidelines?

How is this propaganda? Please explain. The story is factual about what the government is doing and comes from a reputable source, corroborated by other journalists.

Strictly speaking anything can be demonized as propaganda by people that don't want to hear it. I don't love or hate Musk but this seems like a perfectly level-headed assessment of the issues with spending cuts at a federal level.

Can you add content to your claim?

As a non-American, what's wrong about that article?

Because it violates the guidelines?

I find it very interesting that oversight of nuclear power and weapons was gutted without thought. That's a serious public interest story.

Try letting go of partisan emotions and viewing it in a non partisan light.

well, lets see. These events are previously unheard of, and therefore "new", and a "phenomenon" due to their significant impact, which therefore makes them "interesting".

So yeah, it fits.

thanks to Musk, there's about one of these every day, thus the number of HN posts

Is being against the rules propaganda now?
