For the American press its greatest humiliation was on Sunday, September 8, 2002 (pressthink.org)

I don't have a flag link. I also think that if no one says anything, people will push these political articles as far as possible.

The reason I hope to not see these sorts of articles is not because they don't interest me, but because they seem to beget more and more articles on politics: it's easy to talk about politics, as everyone can have an opinion. It's not so easy to talk about Node.js vs Erlang, especially in the congenial, civilized way which prevails here. Articles about politics could easily "crowd out" the more hackery sort because there are so many of them, and, frankly, they're actually way more important in some ways.
