Yeah, trolling and counter-trolling? Gee... Also, note that there’s mention of specific political groups exclusively as trolls, but who are the professional counter-trolls? As my mom used to say, when it comes to fighting, it takes two to tango. Aren’t both just trolls? Internet fights are pretty tedious to witness. Just ask HN’s moderators. But why trust them, when you can read plenty on your own. One person’s moderator is another person’s censor. Trolling and moderation go hand in hand, and moderation is the true counter-troll. |

The actual journalists, at least the ones that wade into the swamp of comments sections. The vast majority of real journalists shirk any duty to respond. That's a big mistake imho.
Also google and other search engines, at least insofar as they are looking to revamp search results to promote actual stories and drive down junk news. But there is another link on HN today about the dangers of allowing search engines to become the arbiters of truth.
