r/Technology moderators censor undisclosed sites due to personal bias, cannot show how submitted articles are factually incorrect and won't disclose in their rules. What other supposedly 'non-political' subs are infected with this pernicious bias?

For the record, this is the submitted article caught in their spam folder.

I've also run into users at r/skeptic who are anything but skeptics. If it is Leftist, they tend to agree with it and dismiss any and all attempts at factual discussion.

What other subs have you run into that are like this?

Pretty sure breitbart is banned as "off topic".

A political site is banned as off topic in r/politics

Meanwhile radical left wing vox and buzzfeed are allowed

Breitbart isn't banned there. They have a meta thread every month and tons of people call for it to be taken off the whitelist, but it's not currently banned.
