There is such an abundance of Political fodder that it makes political stories less relevant or interesting.
There's a place for it, but it's not here. If people wanted that, there would be no need for HN's.
It's not really censoring as much as that's the boring content that's on every other major news syndicate.
Now it's just a dead horse that's being beat.
Let me give you the benefit of the doubt - Is this the first you have heard of it?
In my opinion, Reddit could have had a greater influence than either Facebook or Twitter. On Facebook, the Russians ran ads and they used bots on Twitter but in both of those cases the total reach was probably less than Reddit’s reach.
Also, while we are scrutinizing Facebook and Twitter (rightly), it is time that Reddit (the fourth most popular site) should also have to explain what it is doing.
