Advocacy is what most people want nowadays - reporting that resonates with your biases <i>seems</i> more fair (and thus, is trusted more) than reporting which might challenge your preconceptions. eff.org gets posted as often as it does because of its bias, not despite it.<p>Although to be fair, eff articles do get called out a lot on Hacker News as well - the userbase is diverse, any anything of interest will be argued from both sides, sometimes in good faith, sometimes not. But I think that&#x27;s why biased articles are more likely to be posted than unbiased ones - the bias is what makes it seems interesting.
