Very shameful. I come to Reddit for News, and it's the political subreddits that actually contain the information... You are supposed to be neutral r/news.

Can you take a step back, look at what is happening here in this post and tell me you believe you are doing a good job here? Can you tell me that this is the correct use of this resource? Can you tell me that this isn't just a huge fuck-up from start to finish on YOUR part? Because nobody else can. Not a single person can come to /r/news and not see that you have messed up big time. You have huge responsibility on a large subreddit on a major news breaking source of information. And you just destroyed all credibility for yourself. You broke what reddit is about. You broke the ability to break news before anyone else. You broke the ability for people near and far to talk about a major event. Just, take a step back. Look at it with new eyes and just... stop.

Posting again for /u/Serrated_Banana
