You are begging the question.[1] The question wasn't "what is the cause?" but rather "what is the solution?" which you fail to answer, as in: how can we prevent "the media" from pushing faux moral intellectualism? Note, I'm not addressing the question of whether that's the true cause or not. But, assuming it is -- what can be done about it? Is calling out "the media" on HN enough?

[1] in the older sense of the phrase; nowadays most people use it differently, but it originally meant ~"answering without really answering".
