r/politics is just a name - like the thousands of others on Reddit. The sub reddit is made up of and only exists because of the subscribers / mods wants/wishes. Just because it has a "generic" name, does not mean it needs to be "fair and balanced" /s

However unlike the thousands of others, /r/politics is a default sub, giving it a certain nod of credibility from Reddit the company.
