> right-wing conspiracies based on outright fabrications

maybe on that one point, but the fact the democrats trade way more on the markets is not a conspiracy theory, it's an outright conspiracy.

why are you defending these people? because they're democrats on paper?

I believe GP is defending facts against malicious lies. That seems always a good thing, regardless of whom the lies are directed towards.

Yes, exactly. This is the kind of obviously disprovable lie that I though wouldn’t fly on HN.

> malicious lies

just call it a lie. don't need biased adjectives.

[ABeeSea → devmunchies]

I don’t think that’s a biased adjective. It describes the author’s intent in distributing an easily disprovable lie. Their intent was malicious.
