They already changed from letting you comment with Disqus to making you use a fakebook account. I guess they finally realized that people could create fake fakebook accounts too!!

Did you ever think you would see this day?

These corporate fuckheads are closing off business simply out of political correctness.

I mean, this is fucking insanity.

They're so fucking BUTTHURT about the OPINIONS people are expressing, they've decided to wholesale cut them off, even if it HURTS their brand and business.

cruise cruise cruise

My suggestion to you: do not fucking VISIT IMDB, CNN or ANY website does that.

Grow a fucking pair and boycott them for chrissakes.

Obvious truth is obvious.

They cut their comments because the comments do not allow them to control the information. They always do this under the guise of "too much work to police" and "the comments represent a narrow demographic".

Basically, the people discuss the truth and the make the news look like the idiots they are.

MSN has closed it's comments sections recently due to all those opposed to trumpf and the scum that support the thing. trumpf will either step down by years end, be impeached, or unfortunately end up dead, either through a heart attack or a bullet.

But for all the hatred trumpf scum supporters like to trot out the media is evil routine, it's trumpf supporters and their ilk that are either stupid, or evil. When trumpf come to the UK he will have so much increased security that has never been seen before because so many people here hate him as well, despite what you supposedly think on glp.

Amazing, the only president with a lower approval rating in living memory and he's only been doing the job for a few weeks.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73892428


Yeah, like you actually TRUST CNN's approval rating poll??
Rasmussen (an ACCURATE poll) has Trump's approval at 56%.

You know, when I was a kid there was a saying we'd apply to limey morons like you:

"You're so full of shit, your eyes are brown."

Even when u can comment most of them make u sign in with gmail. Donif an article is on how Google says your e mail has no right to privacy that you should think of it like a secretary opening her boss's snail mail whenever you send an email to a gmail account, or how they spy on their employees then go to comment and it's like sign in with gmail...wait what?

But R.I.P. free speech in America. First they came for the liberals comment sections (CNN) and I didn't say anything because I wasn't a liberal...
Then they came for the IDMB comments and I didn't say anything because I don't watch movies.
Then they came for GLP and I was already banned as usual...deep!

I don't think they have to, idiocracy is a real thing, so the fact Marvel movies are so popular is no surprise at all, most of the people that like that are idiocrats.

Just look at culture in general.
Crap like pokemon is super popular, or look at the artists that are popular, swine like Lady GagGag, Beyondshit, Jay-Swine, Piss-Daddy etc. etc.

Or he could split his links into a section that clearly indicated that these sites allow comments and these don't. So that everyone could see which do and which don't. That might be instructive in itself.

PBS affiliate WHYY just eliminated its online comments from its NEWSWORKS.ORG

[link to www.newsworks.org]

Although they are 100% radical left, they did permit comments & media content from the right about 95% of the time. They only spiked the ones that were totally devastating to the lib cause, or had great humor and satire.

Time to build new media without the libtard / Big Brother filters and antagonism.

Well, maybe when hell freezes over and people start to actually talk to one another instead of instantly getting rude, crass, and belligerent when one doesn't agree with you ... you know, a mature, intelligent discussion ... then perhaps comment sections will re-open. But when nearly every comment thread devolves rapidly into name-calling, swearing, and acting like a child, I can understand this action.

At the same time ... yeah, it could very well be that these sites don't like that people are coping onto the lies, the manipulation, etc.

Or a combination of the above.

Just curious, before the internet, did newspapers dedicate the same amount of space in their papers for comment and rebuttal of each of their stories? What did you all do then?

The thing is, nobody actually reads the comments of those sections except for pure entertainment. They are always filled by trolls and shills and bots, and the few idiots who don't understand that they're trying to argue with not real people.

I guess this is where real ID for the internet comes into play. You want to make public comments, then stand up and let the world know who you are. Anyone care to open up that can of worms?

This is all part of their suicide. Sure, they're silencing opposing views (which is despicable), but they're silencing their own side as well. In time they will be an empty echo chamber where no one is listening anymore.

Supposed "right wing" alternatives will take their place and encourage open expression. Win-win.

It will just make sites that allow comments to prosper, which equals increase in revenue.

Why - because truth be told, people want to hear what Joe butt-crack mechanic says as equally as an Ivy league professor. The entertainment in knowledge so to speak.
 Quoting: Pink Lil Panties



I notice a few websites that are fairly good to me politically, such as nypost.com, have never provided readers forums under their posted articles. That causes them to lose momentum and appeal.

A lack of posting threads makes me less enthusiastic about a website because interactivity - or the ability to see and participate in an ongoing discussion among the public - is the main thing that gives any page a more welcoming, active quality.
