Well from their post alone it seems they would impose their particular world-view in their comment section. Isn't Guardian a "news" outlet, by which being "neutral" and "accommodating to a plurality of ideas" is a inherent virtue? Also it appears their editorial board and "community" is not able to defend their political stances on a free playground. >The Guardian isn't stopping you I think they would have, if there was a technical way to do so. And it's not just about Guardian at this point.

You haven't made any kind of case that The Guardian is "undermining the free flow of information" > it seems they would impose This is your opinion, freely expressed. It's neither evidence nor was it undermined by The Guardian. > Isn't Guardian a "news" outlet "strawman framing" with "a side of airquotes". Even so, can you point to any regulations in the UK or US that define what a "news" outlet is and how they are even required to have a comment section? > which being "neutral" and "accommodating to a plurality of ideas" is a inherent virtue? Core news reporting is about "just the facts", editorial stances are another thing that good organisations have and identify when in play - there is no requirement to be neutral about, say, Hitlers poltics (as evidenced by The Daily Mail at the time). > I think they would have, Again that's literally just your opinion.

  >You haven't made any kind of case that The Guardian is "undermining the free flow of information" I view it as an attempt by a group of left-leaning media/news outlets hoping to de-crown X out of its popularity as a neutral forum for expressing political views. Yes, these are my opinions or ... "comment replies". People can post their comments or fact-checks, the things Guardian people don't like to engage with.

    Some might hold a popular delusion that X is a neutral forum for expressing political views. X is not a neutral forum.
