Please don't take HN threads further into ideological flamewar. It's not what this site is for, and your comments in this thread have moved the thread noticeably in that direction.

Fair enough, though I'm a little confused at the gigantic threads that have remained unflagged that basically make the same statement (albeit from the "other side" - that YouTube is defending Democrats, the White House, etc).

It is impossible to discuss this without it becoming ideological, and the asymmetry is exactly why it is a massive problem.

I'm not sure which threads you're talking about, but it's probably a combination of (a) they're not breaking the site guidelines as much and/or (b) they haven't gotten moderator attention (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...) - we don't come close to seeing everything and we don't necessarily read the threads in sequence.
