I think the most likely case is users are less likely to flag those stories. Or, they're less likely to generate discussion that causes those stories to get flagged.

When I use the term 'the site' I mean both the owners, moderators and users as a collective whole.

There's a sort of unspoken symbiosis going on between the users who consistently flag certain kinds of stories for ideological purposes and the owners/moderators who are content to let them do that.
