News sites disabling comments

yes
its a been like that for awhile.
local ones as well

inline with ICANN being forced to allow private registered domain names being made public and SOPA PIPA.

All part of the pipeline. Complete control of thoughts and what have you.


Hitler is so proud!

I find the offender and link their article on Twitter where I comment freely. Always works.

Yeah MSM is such a joke

They are losing the shillfuckery game. They are afraid of their own shills getting prosecuted once Trump gets in. Unless you're shilling for cash your going to jail for sedition

That's democracy talking.

Good! I used to like the comments more than the actual articles; however, the vulgar insults to total strangers outnumber actual comments. We had two local websites within the past month give up on comments, and it was due to the vulgarity.

It's like any other "privilege" - if you abuse it, it gets taken away.

glad i deleted my account long ago

Vulgarity is easy to handle on a proper forum. You can ban certain words from appearing.

Yes, I've been seeing this too. They're so disconnected from ordinary Americans and if they get a hit from Drudge they know we'll all be on them - they don't want to hear from real people and they certainly don't want them to realize they're not alone.

I also love how they close comments when they realize they're going to get a lot of negative common sense remarks.

I noticed this back in 2013 shortly after the reported chemical attack in Syria and Kerry, McCain, and Graham coming out pushing for a war with Syria back then. Remember then that Merkel even commented on the abundance of anti-war postings on articles posted on the main news sites. It wasn't long after that (really only weeks) that the comments sections were more restrictive and that you had to sign in on Facebook or one of the others in order to post anywhere anymore. It's a way of hiding the discontent and disagreement a lot of Americans feel towards the actions and policies of their political leaders.

I hope GLP doesn't disable comments.

I can't type a comment, see the comments or get the drop down for the share code.

Is it because I have don't have their account, faceNObook or windows 10?

We've had this shit for years in Sweden.
But the cat is out of the bag now so they can't stop it anymore, they were too late.

I vote no one should be able to mention those three names in the same sentence ever again anywhere.

PPL HAVE BEEN TRUTH BOMBING MAIN MEDIA OUTLETS.

ITS A NEW MOVEMENT.

SUPRISED YOU HAVNT HEARD OF IT.

Everybody should continue to remember how fast they eliminated the Confederate flag. That was a test for them. It worked incredibly well.

When they decide to take the next thing from us, it will happen fast and it will happen efficiently.

Absolute Tyranny is here folks.

You're right. People are wearing it on T-shirts.

Because the comments were the most interesting part of the news sites - perhaps the only interesting part.

Maybe the news sites with disabled comments will lose their readership entirely?

Yep, comments are the best part of any article.

Exactly.

I frequent foreign news sites, especially French, and here's just one explanation for there disabling of comments. {BTW, one article from just an hour from reading it. Keep that in mind..)

" Your reaction

El watan has decided to provisionally suspend the space reserved for the reactions of readers, due to the proliferation of extremist, racist and insulting comments."

I never used to read comments ever.

Then I started reading comments.


Now I love reading comments


And I love the commenters and the comwomenters

It's really just a place for people to discuss the news, why would they even care?

Because right-brainers come out of left field.

THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

My personal feeling is you don't like Trump then you are an either a enemy of Western or to dumb to live. Screw off.
