We have active reporting that facebook undermined liberal media orgs.
Is that what the wing of the Democratic party does?

Is there really a place on hacker news for accounts that constantly interject inane politics?

What is a SuperPAC? And would mind explaining what you're talking about?

not OP, but a superpac is a US political group separate from a candidate. They collect money from random sources in a very unaccountable way, and spend money to get candidates elected or promote specific ideas. The "Super" comes from the fact that after the "citizens united" supreme court ruling these groups have basically no restrictions on the amount of money they can raise or tracking of how they spend it - essentially allowing billionaires and the super rich to buy as much influence as they want.

Thank you for explaining and sorry for the typo in my comment you replied to (which I can no longer correct).
I had never heard of that before, perhaps because these types of groups only seem to pop up in larger countries like the U.S.
