Does anybody else see the folly in letting a corporation with their own agenda run a real time news site?

Does anyone else see the folly in patronizing a news site if you think the news reported is untrustworthy?

What do you mean, "Letting a corporation run...?" You don't "let" someone run a site they created.

In fairness, the articles submitted from the domain rapgenius.com are appropriate for HN. (e.g. the Heroku incident: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5215884 )

They aren't using HN to submit content spam. (fwiw, there was another YC startup in a similar niche doing just that earlier this year. That startup appears to be dead/zombie now.)

Eh, as long as HN doesn't censor bad press on its startups (I don't know, maybe they do?) I'm fine with it.

"Letting"? You didn't have to come here.
