Apparently actual journalism is “objectionable and crude”. Revealing the reality of the violence our tax dollars perpetuate is just too harsh, especially when it comes at the hands of Commander and Chiefs Democratic and Republican.

I disagree with Apple's decision, but in the reddit thread about this, someone said the reason it was removed was because the app was essentially just a browser wrapper of an existing web-app.  Apple has a rule that apps can't just be a wrapper for a web-app and that is why it got taken down.
