I have a problem with "news" sources that don't allow commentary on their articles. It seems that many eliminated the comment sections when the articles were too often found to be incorrect and/or pushed a blatant narrative, rather than just reporting the facts.

- burntoutfire 7y agoThat's my impression too, specifically with the Guardian. If I'm not mistaken, you used to be able to comment under most articles, then they started to disable comments under articles on "inflammatory" subjects (read: about immigrants etc.) and now you can hardly ever comment. Which makes sense, because o lot of their articles would be just torn to pieces if commenting was allowed.
