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.
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.
That sounds legit, until you go to the sub and it's 100000 posts about russia/ukraine - most of them about the exact same event(s). 1, 2, 3, 4
It might have also been removed since world news (last time I was on it a few years ago) does not allow United States specific news. Since they’re Americans speaking in America I suspect that might fall under that rule.
The removal reason is literally visible in the screenshot. It has nothing to do with being specific to the United States, it got removed because an article on the topic has previously been posted to the sub already, and they don't want their frontage to be full of reposts
The OP was claiming that they were removing “anything that challenges their narrative” which I’d assume means they looked up to see if their post was a repost first. So the other posts this is reference (which OP claims they aren’t allowing) is what I was saying might have not been allowed.
I assumed the intended read here is that the mods are doing a plausible-deniability thing here where they're not outright lying. Meaning the content in the headline here was buried in a different article that was allowed, but the one that got through had a focus on a closely-related topic that could earn a more Israel-friendly headline. Since most people read the headlines and not the articles, this shapes the narrative with wiggle room for saying the takedown is justified.
If there was another article allowed that was actually focused on the demands for an independent investigation, then yeah OP is bullshitting. Not going to say whether that's the case because I don't care enough to justify opening reddit to find out.
