I agree: this site, despite its many other good qualities, is a freaking disaster regarding these nonsense "censorship" claims, either regarding the NYPost story, or this one.
All these BS stories are coming out right now, with days to go in the election, so that they can't be debunked and/or placed in context. It's "but what about her e-mails" all over again.
I don't think it has anything to do with HN specifically, more to do with this bullshit reaching the mainstream. And HN is full of mainstream people (much as those same people would like to think they aren't).
