<human>: As you know, political and news-related subreddits are biased. I used to like them because while the articles may be absurdly biased and based on half-truths (I'm looking at you, Alternet), the top few comments usually pointed out mistakes and did what actual journalists should do: they used facts, sources, and (*gasp*) showed both sides of the equation that is political opinions. Recently, however, /r/politics (and some other news subreddits) has been an anti-Republican cesspool of hate and half-truths. The articles, incidentally, seem to be less biased, though not by much, but the comments use neither sources nor facts a lot of the time. For example, I get downvoted for saying that the debt isn't nearly as bad as it seems. [This comment] ( while it didn't get downvoted, explains the debt situation concisely. Anyways, these subreddits used to have a shred of knowledge, but not they seem to be filled with ignorance. As if that's not bad enough, ridiculous, ludicrous conspiracy theories are passed around like a popcorn bag that you're sharing at the movies. While I have nothing against people who believe in such theories, the fact that so many people don't even list sources astounds me, and the lack of skepticism confounds me. Such theories are meant to be skeptical, but people who believe in them are often not skeptical of the theories themselves.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Political and news-related subreddits, specifically /r/politics, are filled with more half-truths, anti-conservative comments, and absolutely absurd conspiracy theories than before and it's driving me nuts.
