Not sure why you are downvoted. But some subs like politics and worldnews are just pure propaganda and bots driven at this point.

I'm curious, what's your criteria for propaganda? Is it just content/viewpoints that you don't like? Likewise, for bots. Can link to some examples of bot-like behavior that's happening on reddit? Preferably provide hard evidence of some kind, like the ones done for this story: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/01/27/technology/so...

Any suggestions on feeds for politics and worldnews?

In my experience, no subreddit on reddit is (or can remain) an unbiased neutral source of information about politics.

Either subscribe to a bunch of them, one for each world view, or just classify reddit as a flawed news source and move on to something better.

Out of curiousity, where on Earth can you find "an unbiased neutral source of information about politics"?

It's definitely not news media. I don't think it exists. :)
