The point of that article was more that this had hit CNN than any new information about the event itself. Pretty meta, but not unreasonable.

Worth noting that my original title said just that ("Airbnb horror" story hits CNN) - and that this was corrected by a mod or automated process within a minute of posting... but not instantly.

And from http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2834426 I hear that EJ's story was also retitled to be less enticing.

Sounds like some nice double-standard going on here, considering this one maintains its title. I'm sure it will be blamed on "the gremlins in the automated system"... funny how they seem to favour YC startups in the middle of a big funding round.

Even if it is because they favored YC startups - so what? This message board is run by the founder of YC and isn't meant for posting sensational articles whenever one of their companies gets caught in the spotlight.

I refreshed after reading your comment and the title had changed. Maybe the gremlins heard you, or maybe the automated system runs on a schedule.

Seems like a disconnect regarding how the up arrow is defined on Hacker News and how it's actually used. I imagine most users use it to promotion awareness of submissions to the site ... but HN describes all up-voted posts as "Saved Stories" in the link from your profile page. Different people save stories for different reasons ... so maybe the "Saved Stories" link could use a better name.
