/r/worldnews rule 4:
> Editorials, opinion, analysis - /r/worldnews is for news reports, rather than analysis. There are several subreddits listed at the top of the page that are good for this. If the writer injects their opinion into the article content or the original title **or tries to draw any conclusion about a set of events**, then it is no longer straight news and is not permitted in /r/worldnews. See the Boston Globe's Newspaper Definitions below.
Emphasis mine. Here is maxwellhill's submission title:
> Donald Trump Has Compromised Every Major Investigation Into Alleged Russian Interference Comey, fired. Nunes, recused. Burr, compromised. **There’s a pattern here.**
This is one of the most direct examples of "drawing a conclusion about a set of events" you could make. There is a list of events, followed by a conclusion.
Not that this is surprising: maxwellhill has a long history of breaking his own subreddit rules for propaganda purposes, as highlighted here in /r/RedditCensors.
