    R/Worldnews is the single most propogandized place on the entire internet.

    While the rest of reddit was circulating the un report about how the people in the mass graves had their hands cuffed, the top post in worldnews was a press relief from the idf saying they didn't kill anybody.

    The top comment was "well in the modern age this should be easy to prove" with half a dozen "removed" comments right under it.

      r/neoliberal gives r/worldnews a run for their money.

        Difference is, everyone in r/neoliberal are already full on ghouls without a shred of humanity. r/worldnews is on the front page of Reddit with millions of normies stumbling into it

        That subreddit was literally started by a fossil fuel lobbying organisation wasn't it?

        Yea but neolibleral almost revels in being the bad guys and leans into the stereotype of annoying douchebag (intentionally or not is another question)

        Worldnews posters are trying to act morally superior and like the reasonable adults in the room while parroting propoganda that would make a toddler raise an eyebrow from being to heavy handed.

      It is basically just r/CIAShitPosting, I mean there is no doubt it is fed run right? It is so inorganic

        there's a pretty good wad of circumstantial evidence that u/maxwellhill is her, but admittedly nothing concrete
