Do you honestly believe if this post was about apple or an apple product with the exact same lack of content, it would have gotten the same number of up votes as quickly as this one did?
In HN, where every third post is "Why I'm leaving Apple" or such? Yes.
I dont see any apple related post on the front page, let alone negative ones. Do you see a different front page than I do?
Yes, it's called "bias blind spot" :-)
Here's one in the front page, just a few days ago:

>for things like fighting to keep forced labor camps open
That's probably because the framing of this by the media is BS, playing into the trade war objectives and narrative of the US foreign policy.
It's just that these companies have a lot of suppliers in those areas, unrelated with any "labor camps", whereas the US/law has put a wide canvas that includes a huge area and all kinds of inoffensive suppliers. Seeing that the companies can't just cut off their supply chain on the drop of a hat, they ask for extention period, better monitoring on which and if any of their particular suppliers might actually involve such labor, etc.
But that doesn't make for good headlines for the masses, or for good propaganda.
