Nobody doubts your ability to connect the dots from horserace politics to intellectual curiosity (or, for that matter, from cat pictures and image memes to same). But garden-variety politics are off-topic for HN; you can use the search bar to see the mods repeatedly pointing that out.
I found this article to be not about politics, but about journalism. Otherwise, I would have probably flagged it myself. I understand, that for some people it might be hard to see beyond the politics of their own country.
