Why are certain political hit-pieces getting flagged, and others, like this one, are somehow immune?



Here's an example. If I were to post an article that shows data that NYC shootings are up 30% since activist-pushed disbanding of cops took place, it would get downvoted to oblivion, flagged repeatedly and such. It's an interesting discussion point, and there are some very calm and rational pro and cons to different approaches. Instead, an article like this one from Propublica gets upvoted to the stratosphere.

As long as we admit there's some sort of double-standard at play, I'm fine with it. Or we're consistent.
