I built a newsfeed that takes the real news and turns it into Hacker News threads, complete with the domain expert, the "well actually" guy, the person plugging their startup, and the [dead] contrarian. I've got another 160 or so channels too in other personas.
You can even "comment" in the thread and get a response!
