r/news mods delete +21k thread with 89% upvotes because it did not promote the desired narrative. "editorialized title + analysis" was taken verbatim from the first sentence of the article and the article's title itself.

How were some of those comments censored in under a second? Were they shadowbanned?

Automod can be set to disallow doubleplus ungood speech. Tesla, for example, was an automod autodelete term in /r/technology until the discovery of that rule got the sub demoted.

gotta protect the sub against that evil nikola tesla propaganda. thomas edison is the one true inventor. nikola tesla was just a hack.

I think we need to add something to the sidebar about /r/news.. It's like shooting fish in a barrel! /r/politics is another cesspool worthy of mention.

Almost every time i go on /r/all there is a /r/politics post at the top. It's weird

Jump on there and tell me what the first 5 posts are, I can guarantee they’ll be either Trump or Russia.

Pure coincidence
