r/worldnews is corrupt, and I'm sure you can find a metric fuckton of evidence if you care to look.

I saw a wildly popular but politically embarrassing* article there get wiped from the front page for "just being commentary / a blog post with no evidence", when it was actually a Coundcloud link to the politician's actual words.

The story was wiped. It is no longer searchable by either Reddit or Google search. This is a post consisting of direct evidence with zero commentary, of the utmost public interest, with 20 thousand upvotes or so. Just memory-holed completely with no appeal.

* The Irish Health Minister at the time, Simon Harris, was saying that "we're on Covid-19, so there's been 18 other coronaviruses" .... In fucking MAY of last year. THe Health Minister. And this was AFTER those talking heads in America were reamed for the same mistake.

If you make the accusations more extreme and express them with more anger, does that make them more likely to be true?

It seems like you're saying I've made an accusation more extreme... Care to clarify what you mean? Maybe in a non passive aggressive way?
