Why waste your time? Dang or Tom will link you to the same pseudo intellectual analysis and claim there is no bias.
Meanwhile, we have eat good food and iran protests plastering the front page, while the news of a an unprovoked murder of a US citizen by masked agents of the state gets buried with flags.
We all know the answer.
HN has other objectives, specifically "intellectual curiosity". And I'm well aware that this results in a strong status quo bias, something I'm quite uncomfortable with these days:

I'm not so sure that this particular incident can be explained by status quo bias.
We had a tweet about killing communists up on the front page for two days, but this topic remains flagged.
What status quo does that represent? Unless we will openly admit that the status quo referred to is fascism, and hackernews largely represents that.
