r/worldnews marks posts as "Not Appropriate Subreddit", hiding them from other users whenever it doesn't fit their agenda

I have uploaded [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/6hts1d/swedish_police_attacked_by_100_masked_migrant/) and [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/6hwdkx/swedish_expert_on_islamophobia_joins_isis_calls/) soon after. Both have been flagged as not approapriate for the subreddit. I recieved no notification, but noticed how quickly any discussion stopped. The posts were obviously removed without notice. I contacted the moderators about this (also asked what subreddits would be appropriate), but recieved no response. Even though these posts don't break the sub rules in any way, they remove them as long as they don't fit their agenda, and try to keep it quiet to avoid any backlash and hope people simply don't notice.

If it doesn't somehow end in a demand that President Trump resign or get impeached , it doesn't fit their agenda.

Posts critical of Trump are allowed, regardless of their no US politics rule. I always report them, even though they probably ignore reports.

The real question is why are you still on r/worldnews? That sub is a dumpster fire.

because you linked fucking breitbart? that site has zero journalistic credibility. no self respecting mod would accept a source from brietbart

What about the other article?

They have a knee jerk reaction to Breitbart articles. The second one I kind of understand though, it's just old news.

About the second article, generally yes, its old news, but its an update on that person. So technically its not old.

Probally shouldn't have used Breitbart.
