/r/news mods trying to ensure their audience has the "correct" reaction to Jussie Smollett staging a crime just to further divide the country and push the "right wing people bad" narrative. Looks like the mods of /r/news are just as interesting in lying as he is, sadly.

They've censored almost 2000 of the 14,000 comments. Incredible.

Not even surprised anymore - only disgusted. Wait what? I looked and there's a lot of people saying variations of "fuck this guy" and the comments are still up.

I don't know the method to their madness. I just know there are 2000 censored and looking over them, many are clearly being pulled because of an agenda. Maybe they're hoping that less comments is better? Don't know.

1. Who the fuck has the time to moderate this dumb website. 2. Let’s say for arguments sake that no conservative opinions were allowed at all, then what? You’d have a bunch of misinformed people believing propaganda which would eventually lead to violence. 3. Reddit was better when you could say whatever you wanted.

2. That's the whole point. People are using Reddit to get you to buy certain things and believe certain ideologies.

Reddit is truly astroturfed. Those subreddits are bought and paid for.

Reddit has fallen my friends

You're correct. it fell some years ago. And any site that follows it and attains the same size will also be controlled the way Reddit is now.
