"Certain" news-based subreddits are blocking the story of the car which deliberately ran into a Paris Pizzeria. Why?

Are certain subreddits conspiring to push a narrative, instead of remaining transparent?
Yesterday, there was a car that drove into a Paris Pizzeria, killing a 13 year old girl and wounding five other people.
Several posts have been submitted to different news-based subreddits, but the moderators have blocked the articles because these subs are "Not (the) Appropriate Subreddit".
So news articles are not allowed to be posted in news-based subreddits unless they fit a predetermined narrative? Or, am I reading too far into this situation?
Spez: Some members wanted to see where this was occurring. I wasn't sure if it was frowned upon to crosspost, or if it was against the rules. This is what peaked my interest.

Here is a discussion on r/uncensorednews about this occurring: http://np.reddit.com/r/uncensorednews/comments/6tpixm/breaking_girl_13_killed_and_four_critical_as_car/
Spez Spez: Now that terrorism has been completely ruled out of the investigation, and the driver has been described as a paranoid drug-addict who was paranoid,, I decided to post a new story to r/worldnews.
Would r/worldnews label the story as "Not (the) Appropriate Subreddit" and stay consistent, or would they allow the story because it doesn't affect the narrative?

If this newer vehicular homocide got fair coverage it'd downplay the reporting on the older one. The news cycle isn't done with its Nazi storyline yet.

Ever, they are just getting started on it. They will continue to double down until regular white people that have nothing to do with this are being killed in the streets. And then they will celebrate that.

Wow that escalated quickly
You really believe that?
Yikes.
1 mastigia 2017-08-15
You don't?
Yikes

No I don't believe that us average white people will be targeted whatsoever.

You fell for the narrative.
Not saying racial issues don't happen, but the media plays them up to make us afraid (fear mongering), divide us, and keep us focused on stories that they decide.

Haha I think this job is getting to you, mate. Ease back.

Wow.

You mean like r/politics? I'm sure there are subreddits are for specific types of news.
None were listed so unable to verify.

I didn't check r/politics. Am I allowed to post the subreddits? I wasn't sure if that was frowned upon or against the rules.
1 PantsMcGillicuddy 2017-08-15
Well, since it has nothing to do with US politics, it shouldn't be posted there.
1 tatadoo 2017-08-15
I posted above some links to subreddits. In the r/uncensorednews post they discuss trying to post the story to r/worldnews, and having it removed by the mods within 6 minutes.
1 jeffinRTP 2017-08-15
I know that r/politics policies say that the post has to be within 30 days and related to American politics.
I would assume that others have something similar.
I know that I've seen it posted many times but I only subscribe to r/conspiracy & r/politics.

Why don't you point to a few examples?

What's funny is that uncensorednews also censors news posts.
1 tatadoo 2017-08-15
Now that is ironic.

It wasn't blocked. Here's a link to one of the posts with over 100 upvotes

While not required, you are requested to use the NP (No Participation) domain of reddit when crossposting. This helps to protect both your account, and the accounts of other users, from administrative shadowbans. The NP domain can be accessed by replacing the "www" in your reddit link with "np".
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

It says "Not appropriate subreddit". How is that not blocked?
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-15
Because it's still up?
1 tatadoo 2017-08-15
Try doing a search for any article in worldnews. Enter either post title, or "Paris pizzeria" into the search bar. Nada.
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-15
Yeah, you were right, and I was wrong, sorry.
1 tatadoo 2017-08-15
No need to apologize. I was somewhat confused as well.
1 cgamonitor 2017-08-15
If you have the link you can visit a removed post still.
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-15
Yeah, I see that now, thanks.
1 cgamonitor 2017-08-15
Yeah it can be confusing, especially if you think one of our posts has been removed silently. Easiest way to test is just log out on the front page of the subreddit and see what's missing.
