>some interesting new phenomenon

There's a case to be made that much of today's politics are interesting new phenomenons.

HN being an unobjective far left echo chamber is not new, making the stories kind of tiresome propaganda.

HN being full of clichè dissenting know-it-alls is not new, either.

To the contrary. The signal-to-noise ratio here is not as good as I would like, but I can still find reasoned, thoughtful comments from people who don't think like me. It's still better than almost anywhere else.
