I'm not sure you're bringing in the full picture. Reddit is a media community, not a media outlet. The parent company is a bastion of an authentic (however defined) self-policed system; to a limit, that includes the good and the bad. You might point fingers at the community, but you're talking about a lot of people, so you'll have to make inaccurate generalizations.

I think Raganwald's points are well taken because they relate to the Reddit company's mission as a provider of free-speech, not as a provider of things you find distasteful.
