Definitely want citations...<p>BBC credibility is high, much higher than almost any other media outlet (its main rival ITV runs late night shopping channel and studio roulette games - it&#x27;s embarrassing)<p>It is true that most if not all mainstream media outlets are run by, edited by, well educated, well informed, London bound media types - it&#x27;s amazing that they do report anything people care about.<p>However I would still prefer editors with 20 years cynicism and experience over the HN algorithm - I use it to look around but if I wanted to follow everything HN recommended I would be blind.<p>(Actually an interesting idea - is a daily digest of most commented &#x2F; upvoted stories going to represent the editorial power of HN?)
