> I'm more disturbed by your labeling something as "propaganda" simply because you yourself didn't feel it merited reporting on.

There is a world of difference between objective reporting and biased propaganda.

I hate facebook. I never signed up for facebook. But when news organizations are actively attacking facebook, it isn't reporting, it is propaganda. When news organizations are pushing #deleteFacebook, it isn't reporting, it isn't journalism, it is propaganda.

If you want, use the waybackmachine and check HN's frontpage. For the last year, there has been anti-FB propaganda on it every single day. Today, there are 6 anti-FB stories. Yesterday, I counted 4.

Just because you don't like facebook doesn't mean you have to like propaganda/anti-FB spam.

I wish HN would allow us to opt out of topics. I already know FB is rubbish. I don't need constant spam from the news media and their social media team to tell me what I already know.

Talk about polluting the internet. The likes of bloomberg and their social media team are just as guilty of it as facebook.
