Reddit trying extra hard to bury the news of Trump’s pedophile spiritual advisor.

Clearly “extra hard” isn’t very hard when there are hundreds of posts in Subreddits that are actually relevant: https://old.reddit.com/search?q=Robert+Morris

No conspiracy here. That’s just literally not what that subreddit is for. It’s for open-ended discussion questions. Rule’s right there in the sidebar.

Good moderation is the only way to keep a big community’s theme and this question is obviously bait. It’s like posting “can anyone explain why Trump hasn’t been arrested yet?”

OP wasn’t looking for an actual answer, they’re looking for an echo chamber

Was it posted anywhere else on reddit?

PlzGivHugs@sh.itjust.works · 9 months

Yes, basically everywhere relating to news and politics (rather than comedic Q&A): https://old.reddit.com/search?q=Robert+Morris

Here is the testimony of the woman who claimed to be the 13 year old in the video that was mentioned in the screenshot. She was threatened and went into hiding.

This is stupid. That subreddit has rules against that sort of question. This isn’t some gotcha moment, there are plenty of places to ask that question, but that subreddit is not for that sort of question.

Reddit has its faults but this is stupid.

I don’t see it on r.politics. I bet it’s no where else on reddit.

Edit: I did find it, on fucking r.conservative, lol

Have you considered searching on reddit if you want to search on reddit? https://old.reddit.com/search?q=Robert+Morris

Also, on r/politics specificly: https://old.reddit.com/r/politics/search?q=Robert+Morris&restrict_sr=on

I would have to sign in on old to use their search. Not doing that. I thought the conservative comment was section was entertaining.

PlzGivHugs@sh.itjust.works · 9 months

You don’t have to sign in to use search. You just go to the site, type in the search bar, and hit enter. Its was less work to fact check your claim than it was to respond to your comment.

Seattle is having lovely weather here tonight. I hope you’re having the same.

I guess the mods answered his question in a way.

I liked their subsequent comment even more. Instinctively clicked an upvote - but yeah, no more.

Perhaps because it wasn’t tagged [Serious] ☝️🤓

This is silly. A figure like POTUS is going to be tangentially connected to so many people, some are mathematically bound to be criminals. And “Spiritual advisor” sounds like something official or personal, like the relationship Billy Graham had with several Presidents, not one of 50 faith-grifters that pray over Trump in the Oval office for a photo.

Maybe the political media didn’t cover this because it’s not that relevant or important. Release the Epstein files.
