Two Communities, One Topic: Exploring the British Reddit community split based on perceived biases
  This article explores a perceived bias between two British reddit
communities dedicated to discussing British politics.We analyse the
popular sources favoured by each community and study semantic
indicators that would be indicative of a bias. Although we find that
the bias does not appear to be as strong as perceived by members
of the respective communities, we uncover several indicators of
potential political biases between the two communities.
