Ask HN: Can we get a Wikileaks-free feed?

11 points by maukdaddy ↗ HN
The front page is becoming very polluted with Wikileaks related stories. I'm tired of the conspiracy theories, attention whoring, endless propaganda (pro & con), and other Wikileaks material.

I'd like some way of viewing HN without this pollution.

This is a momentary media phenomenon, like the stories about Obama around the time of the elections.

That said, it would be nice to have a way to filter out duplicate stories posted at the same time.

it has been around for 1.5 weeks now, when average media attention span is 1.5 days at best, so no it is not momentary.

On the flipside I've been checking HN more regularly because of it.

I tried to ask the same about removing TSA stories back in the day, and was flagged to death, so no.

I upvoted that request for the exact same reasons.
