A very politically motivated act does not prove anything about the “traditional structure of Internet media which reflects the underlying population very poorly”.
If you were looking for truth you wouldn’t reply like this. I’m not going to do an hour of work to carefully cite this for you, but it’s true nonetheless.

This is a common weird mistake people make on HN - I'm not publishing a paper so, no I don't. Really there's minimal rules of engagement here. You could say you think I'm wrong, which I'd be curious to hear why.
It's more productive to first discuss things casually, and then if there's specific disagreements to dig in. If you disagree with my statement, please tell me which countries you think specifically I'm more likely wrong about. You don't need to cite anything, either do I. If we actually do disagree, then we can go off and do our own research, or if we're really motivated bring it back here.
But there's no burden for anything, and it's actually better in many cases to first chat before we dig in and try and out-cite each other.
You have now spent three comments without any support for your claim. This is not a real-time conversation where casual discussion allows for quick examination of statements. Your time would have been better spent providing a link.
I don’t think that this thread is worth any more spent energy from either of us.
You're conflating culture war issues with ideology.
For most of the world, left and right are economic axes despite the American corporate media's attempts to convince you that the 0.1% of crossdressers are more important than making sure you and your family get a fair wage and clean air.
We’re talking about LLM bias (economic is far less relevant) on a largely American forum in context of USAID, I’m not conflating really more than you’re steering things to some odd different ground.
