I think it would just get worse. Currently you have liberal articles that conservative trolls attack in the comments. Balance that with conservative leaning articles and now the liberals have a comment section to troll in. The solution in my opinion is to do away with the comments. I have never seen anything useful in the comments on The Guardian and I read it quite often.
- Wintamute 11y agoI don't know that it would, I have more faith in humanity than that. If the ideas the Guardian championed were blind to overt politicisation and consistently based on objective merit, rather than ideology I think the strength of those ideas would be plain for people to see.
