Comment on: /r/WorldNews removes my post on the migrant crisis in Europe for "not appropriate subreddit." Guess you're only allowed to post news on the refugees if it's news that aligns with their narrative. That doesn't seem biased at all.
“Reddit’s ideological echo chamber”
Repeat of google and James Damore.
It’s more important in that the cited story does not fit the mods’ preferred narrative than objectivity/subjectivity.
All news is subjective at the end of the day

Comment on: Article on /r/WorldNews about Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán saying "Muslim refugees" are actually "Muslim invaders" is littered with censored comments. 30% of the 653 comments censored away. Gotta delete that wrongthink.
Been to Vienna and Budapest. After seeing Vienna, I had to pause and ask if it was actually Vienna, Austria or a Disney set. So many foreigners!
Thankfully Budapest doesn’t have that since folks there make less money and live largely in communist buildings, making the city less enticing to foreigners. Hungary also built a trump wall on its Serbian border. It’s like they are expecting an invasion. They have gates on wheels that can be slammed shut on a moment’s notice. If you drive from Serbia to hungary they will check your car’s trunk to make sure you didn’t bring stowaways along.
Immigration opinions aside, I think not talking about these issues and just forcing one a one sided narrative(immigration = good, anyone who thinks otherwise is a hater) is plain wrong.

Comment on: /r/news mods selectively deciding what is "primarily politics." News about US ambassador to Netherlands is not "primarily politics." News about DACA? Apparently so political that it gets you banned.
Kinda surprising that there aren’t more conservative news channels. Fox is the largest news channel in the USA simply because the folks who run fox have the chutzpah to put themselves out there and serve a news community that has long been frowned upon by leftists.
IOW there’s a conservative news gold mine out there and the leftists just play whack a mole against it.
If breitbart made a news channel, it’s very possible that it would succeed and make a lot of money, although sjw advertisers would probably avoid it.

Comment on: Admins have banned /r/UncensoredNews
It’s not reddit, it’s the advertisers.
Advertisers don’t want their products associated with news and stories they don’t like.
If reddit had income that did not involve advertisers, it’s very possible that most subs that were banned would still be here today.
RIP!!
