Why is this flagged? BBC seems like a trustworthy news source to me? I guess it might not be just due to the ad, but still it's a peculiar situation that's of interest to the world.
Stuff that casts the current US administration in a less than favourable light tends to get flagged pretty quickly on here. It doesn't seem quite as bad as a earlier in the year, so I wonder if they've taken measures to counteract it. You can visit '/active' instead to make all posts, including flagged ones, visible.
"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."
Sh*t that goes down that will probably limit your hiring ability and restrict where your "goods and services" will be received is pertinent to the HN community.
Are they actually untrustworthy or did they just publish some stuff that slightly challenges your world views and so therefore you have to form the belief that they are fake news?
