How many WSJ comments sections have you actually read?
- neartheplain 6y agoThat's what I'm saying, the Post's comments are even worse.
- Symbiote 6y agoThe gold standard for comments is Tim Dowling's articles in The Guardian. I don't dare look at the WP now. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/mar/13/tim-dowling-middle-child-back-from-the-us-must-act-normal https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/mar/13/tim-dow...
- Tarsul 6y agoyeah I'm actually quite happy with the comments on the Guardian. They don't have them on a lot of articles but when they do they always have their Guardian Picks, meaning high quality comments that are highlighted. I don't know why the general comment section there is good but one point is definitely moderation. They even delete postings (spam or flame wars).
