  That's not clear. The list is rather more interesting than what you (or the article's author) suggest. Its also rooted in logic (arguable, but laid out ex-ante). Some of these are also autobanned on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6657066 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6657066). [eg] The following is a list of major domains that have been banned by the moderators of /r/Politics and listed here in the interest of transparency: aattp.org alternet.org amazon.com americanthinker.com avaaz.org b4in.info beforeitsnews.com blacklistednews.com borderlessnewsandviews.com breitbart.com breitbartunmasked.com change.org citypaper.com constitutioncampaign.org courthousenews.com crooksandliars.com dailybail.com dailycaller.com dailycurrant.com dailykos.com dailypaul.com democraticunderground.com deviantart.com dirtyuglypolitics.wordpress.com drudgereport.com eclectablog.com ecominoes.com facebook.com funnyordie.com Gawker and all affiliates generalstrikeusa.wordpress.com heavy.com heritage.org hotair.com huffingtonpost.com inagist.com indiegogo.com informationliberation.com infowars.com isidewith.com lifenews.com linkedin.com littlegreenfootballs.com mediamatters.org minx.cc motherjones.com myspace.com nation.foxnews.com nationalmemo.com nationalreport.net nationalreview.com nationsmith.com Newsbusters.org newsmakeup.wordpress.com newsvine.com newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/ njspin.com omegle.com pensitoreview.com petitions.whitehouse.gov photographyisnotacrime.com policymic.com politicalwire.com politicususa.com politilady.com pollcode.com powerlineblog.com prisonplanet.com rawstory.com reason.com redd.it reddit.com redgage.com rightwingwatch.org salon.com signon.org smirkingchimp.com techdirt.com thebackbencher.co.uk theblaze.com thedailybanter.com thegatewaypundit.com theonion.com thepetitionsite.com therightscoop.com thinkprogress.org townhall.com truth-out.org twitchy.com twitter.com upworthy.com vice.com voiceblaze.com wallstreetonparade.com weaselzippers.us wikimedia.org wikipedia.org wnd.com*
