Anything that challenges their narrative, even from what they consider trusted outlets by their own definition using an unchanged headline from the original article, gets removed.

Never posted on r/worldnews before and got permabanned for this. The mods there truly are genocidal neoliberal fascists. Boycott Western media.

    There’s been a lot of shoddy journalism about Israel/Gaza from all narratives and I feel like this has been testing the media literacy of a lot of progressives, but uh… CNN is not a fringe source. This banning feels bad.

    r/Worldnews is literally an echo chamber for propaganda. They will literally ban users or lock posts/stories, so no one cannot use/repost the same source or even similar, exploiting their own rules to shut down even valid stories/sources of anything that goes against their pre-selected narratives. I have seen this firsthand on a number of topics and more than once, in order to end up shaping general narratives to normies by killing stories, thus creating a different worldview based on lies by omission.

    Reddit, for news, just creates reality myopia.

    Worldnews is famously a zionist hasbara distribution channel. Any opinion that is not pro zionist is perma banned there.

    I got banned there for writing in a comment that Israelis act like fascists towards Palestinians in the occupied west bank. The mod team responded in Hebrew and muted me. You kick a rock and hundreds of current and former reddit users will come out from under there telling you a similar story.

    It is pretty well known in reddit you are not allowed to write criticism of Israel on Worldnews.

    What do you expect from Reddit? Each Subreddit has millions of rules. It is like walking on a field of landmines. They even censor the names of certain politicians in a Subreddit is that totally relevant for. For example, you can’t mention the name of a governor of a state, in which the state is subject of the subRedditt. Redditt is ONLY for “clique-based communities.” It is a fascist news aggregator posing as something legitimate. They also don’t allow new user accounts posting or doing anything unless you pass their Shittitt qualifications. The mods mischaracterize you and your arguments in order to ban you.

    The flair said covered by other articles, as in we don’t need multiple articles about the same topic. If you want a livelier debate, this is the right way to keep everyone speaking about the topic in the same post.

      /r/WorldNews is a controlled garden, and if you say anything against the moderation’s line, you’ll get banned. It’s even become noticeable even to normal ass Reddit users.

    I’m sure I’m gonna get shit for this, but…

    An article of the actual event was on the front page of /r/worldnews for several days. Who her family happens to ascribe blame to doesn’t sound even remotely news-worthy to me - they have exactly as much information as anyone else

    I don’t think it warrants a ban, but I also don’t think the article belongs 🤷‍♂️

      It’s also flared as being covered by other news articles. Not worth a ban, but people’s feeds shouldn’t be filled with every news article for every event, so I’d agree with the post being un-needed.
