So the goddamn political rocket scientists over at /r/the_Donald have put their crackpot alt-right heads together after a crushing defeat over their Pizzagate research and theories have made an important discovery. They have data that shows that Reddit is (debatabely) filtering out links posted from InfoWars. This is a struggle for them because now one of the news sources that they like that also seems more legitimate to them (because, you know, it has the word "info" in the title) is now not reaching the masses! In their own words (or should I say, in their own flair), that's "PATHETIC!"
Yeah, that is pathetic. It's pathetic to be outraged over an internet platform utilizimg their full rights and privledges to uphold ethics and filter out bullshit. Fake news is cancer to the current political landscape and "alternate" news sites are majorly to blame. I applaud reddit as a company for silencing (and we still haven't even recrived confirmation that this is happening; it might just be an error or a sideffect of the algorithms) Info Wars. Why? Well, Info Wars should not be considered a news site. Or at least not a legitimate news site.
* Alex Jones is as unqualified to run a news media outlet as Donald Trump is to be president. I can't even confirm he has a college degree in anything, let alone journalism. He has no knowledge of ethics or truthful reporting. He just knows how to incite rage in an audience.
* Info Wars has no accountability whatsoever. If they report fake news, the only person they answer to is Alex Jones, who you don't want running your media empire.
* Info Wars has published the worst, most offensive conspiracy theories to date.
Tl;dr InfoWars is the worst news source ever and /r/The_Donald is just looking even worse trting to defend them.
