Hacker News Reader

Are you requesting people confirm that Spiked is approved by a specific orthodoxy before reading the article and judging for themselves?

Reputation of a source matters. An anti-vax publication would rightly get a negative reception here too. This is Hacker News. People shouldn't be posting garbage like this. Go to Reddit.

You have to be suspicious when a British magazine starts complaining about Chicago University.

I'm sorry I meant University of California, Hicago.

Yeah, I believe in an orthodoxy called "fact checking" and "not being funded by agenda-pursuing, climate change denialist billionaires"

Can you specify exactly what we should be looking for here? To put it another way, what moved you to post this comment with this content? There must be some takeaway you expect readers to have. What is it?

Even Rational Wiki, which is hardly unbiased, doesn't consider it an extreme or unfactual source.
