I wasn't talking about hacker news. I was talking about the bbc.
I was asking why the bbc published a non-news story, not why it was here. I was just saying the news industry should publish news rather than conjecture or predictions.
Mostly "someone said something on Twitter" and "here are some more personal opinions of Laura Kuenssberg". Their days of being a serious news organisation are long over.
