I'm not sure what your point was in posting this. A few points:
First off, Reddit isn't news media, it's social media
Second, "the top ten" is a collection of links from other sites that rise or fall based on their popularity with the readers, not writers.
Third, almost all of these headlines (which, bu subreddit rules, must match the article headline), state a fact.
- imh 8y agoI posted these exactly because of the same sort of distinctions as you made. The parent comment showed what's at the top of an algorithmically curated list. The commenter stated "If you mainly get your news from social media, you have a biased view of the news itself." That got me wondering what an analogous list for social media looks like, so I looked it up. Others might wonder the same thing, so I shared. I chose r/news because it's literally supposed to be news. I chose r/politics because politics seems to be more divisive news.
- coolgeek 8y agoAh, I overlooked that last sentence in the parent post on the first read.
