sidenote, sometimes this does happen, and it almost always is full of the most comically hateful people: see voat

I'd feel much better if reddit and twitter were even handed with their condemnation of comically hateful people. As someone on the Left, what I've seen is that Left-leaning media bias tends to give indirect license to the most extreme authoritarian and even toxic fringes of the Left. It also fuels a reaction from the far Right.

For as long as Fox News exists and promotes itself as an actual news agency (HAH!)

The mechanism I cite above has been in operation at Fox, just in the other direction.

I'm not sure I agree, based on the near universal mockery of /r/shitredditsays since well before even the Kotakugate/gamerghazi/zoe quinn clusterfuck.
