So can we extrapolate that liberal media, and to some extent HN content and what this community believes, is driven by monetary incentives?

I made no statements about what the HN community believes. Only that mainstream media is driven by monetary incentives, which I don’t believe is a very controversial statement.

As for my opinions on what the hacker news community believes. We know that certain demographics skew certain ways politically, empirically. It’s not surprising given the demographics of HN that certain beliefs are predominant here. That has little to do with money, at least not in the way it does for media products.
