Nevertheless, I believe that a good news source, like a good community, sometimes gives you things that you might not like--things that challenge the filters we already have.
It's what flipping though a regular newspaper does, what hacker news does, what listening to a good broadcast does. The key is if you know the content is going to be so good that you're willing to take that risk despite your hesitation.
Hacker News is a bit like a firehose, but that's why I read it. The people on this site are informed, opinionated and pretty damn smart. It reminds every time I get on how little I actually know.
To be honest, a small part of me feel uncomfortable with that but that's why I read it--it's news I need to know.
