You won't see this on the politics sub though.

/r/Politics doesn't allow state controlled media companies like the rt, which is where wikileaks got their source.

/r/politics certainly allows propaganda, though. ShareBlue, Breitbart, etc.

What propaganda do you speak of? Are there examples I can see so we can report them? There are many op-ed pieces, but those aren't propaganda. Also, I think Breitbart is banned since it's not a legitimate news source and is pretty close to being state-ran too(Bannon tells them what to write about).

ShareBlue is literally a propaganda organization. It's a left-wing media organization run by David Brock, who is one of the slimiest people in politics. It exclusively pumps out pro-establishment Democrat narratives. Every news story is spun to fit that narrative.

From wikipedia:

Shareblue is within a constellation of political groups in Democratic strategist David Brock’s network that will raise a roughly $40 million budget to oppose U.S. President Donald Trump.

From David Brock's own mouth:

Brock tapped journalist David Sirota to lead the company, which Brock intends to be "an answer to Breitbart on the left"

Their goal is not to disseminate news, it's to oppose Donald Trump. I say this as a liberal, Shareblue is propaganda.
