This kind of reply is what I love about HN. So many stories come out biased or simply factually inaccurate. I wish newspapers like the NYT and WSJ had a prominent chat feature to promote fact-checking.

We both know what really happens when news website get comment sections and chats. Toxic communities appears out of thin air.

Every once in a while I'll check the comments on a politico story just to see if there's anything interesting someone has added. Hasn't been anything yet. It's name-calling from the get-go.

I often wonder how much of that is triggered by paid employees. Be it the competition or state actors.
