CNN, IMDB & other MAJOR websites are CLOSING their comment sections. This is insane!

Truth. The "media" hasn't been neutral since Walter Cronkite announced during his broadcast that the U.S. lost the Viet Nam War (when we were actually winning it).

Shaddap.

There was one

Guess what ... it got shut down .. for personal reasons of course..

Fuck CNN, I won't go to that site anymore even though reading liberal whining is entertaining at times. Go to Metacritic for movie reviews, fuck imdb.

Everyone is complaining, but look at the siver lining...

Corporate realizes discourse doesnt work on a global scale. It has to have localized, involved management. Just as govt does to function efficiently and for the people.

The collapse or wrongness....

Good. I means they have lost.

I wonder how shutting down their comments sections affects business. I know for myself I stop going to a website if they do that. Comments are the most interesting and informative part of a story, often even in spite of the trolls.

a few assholes ruin everything.
then they come here and bitch.

i'm surprised the freedoms went on this long before things were closed down. bad karma for them, IMO.

Just more shit I'll be avoiding. Add 'em to the list, lol. Most movies, music, websites, etc. We don't need 'em.

Create a message board.

Yes newspapers have entire sections devoted to readers comments that can write in. It takes a lot more effort and less people do it so it is not on equal footing with the front page propoganda but people who care seek them out and read them. Of course the editor of the paper gets to decide what is printed and what is not.

As far as opening the can of worms young girls didn't get their blonde heads cracked open for wearing a Ronald Reagan hat back in newspaper days like they do now for wearing a Trump hat and stalkers had tobputvin a lot more work then to simply log in to white pages or intellius to stalk their victims at their houses so I no longer think real IDs are safe. I think services like Intellius that are stalking their victims should have restraining orders against them and be punished criminally for the stalking they have already done on all of us and sell it to the public.

Won't be long before Trump puts this sheeet into 5th gear.

I won't even go to a news site that doesn't have a comment section. I find the comments even more enlightening than the articles.

Recently I read an article in the LA Times about deporting illegals. It told a sob story about how harmful it would be to get rid of them, then I scrolled down to the comments expecting to see a lot of people complaining about Trump deporting illegals.

I was stunned to see that like 99% of those commenting wanted the illegals to be booted out of the country. Only two or three people wanted them to stay. Meanwhile, there were several hundred posters from all over California saying to kick them out, and I didn't think the LA Times had a conservative readership.

it just sounded like for money reasons, they probably found a way to make extra...hundreds of thousands by freeing up bandwidth and utilizing the fact they have 5 different accounts on different mediums which they probably dont have to moderate at all. thats literally what they say on their message.

this is money and yall act like childish assholes, ya aibt gotta go home but gtfo our site.

i say bravo imdb

this ^^^^^

Oh for crying out loud, that part of their social experiment is over.
Did you boycott newspapers back in the day - when it took effort to write the editor? The world is so flooded with everyones opinions. Its become nothing more than an opportunity for people to fight.

So, they have a comments section?

I didn't know that since I never visit their site.

comment sections are not a right, they are a privilege that privately owned businesses offer their customers


sames as glp

it is a private forum and glp can censor and delete any posts they want

there is nothin in the constitution that states any private business has to offer a comments section

glp repeatedly bans users and removes posts they don't like and every time they do this, glp users defend glp's right to do this because glp is a PRIVATE business

CNN, IMDB are PRIVATE businesses and don't have to offer comment sections if they don't want to

same way glp doesn't have to allow people they don't want to use the glp fourm

CNN has been doing this for years now... mainly on sensitive subjects that they don't want their viewers to read "alternative facts" aka truth

What you do is, you find out who is closing their comments section and you make a website for each news website and post their articles with a comments section so people can still have their opinion. I bet it would catch on like wildfire...the go-to comments. "What We Really Think - CNN" "What We Really Think - IMDB" "What We Really Think - *insert media name*"

I would do it but I'm too busy to keep up with all the articles. Maybe for ONE of those media groups I could. IDK.

At all levels down to individuals on their social media accounts. I'm boycotting the indivuals as well

If you don't like something CNN says, you can still voice your opinion about it, go to a public ofrum like glp or start a blog


removing comments sections is NOT CENSORSHIP

you are still free to speak publicly about CNN, you just can't do it on their site

the exact same way people talk shit about glp get banned on glp but go to other sites and talk shit about glp.


Comment section are like what, 10 years old, and you all act like if a site removes it, it's some sort of breach of free speech.


You don't have a right to comment on a private business's site if the private business doesn't want you to

but you can still talk about it ANYWHERE ELSE online


the comical aspect of glp-ers getting outraged over this is how often glp-ers demand users who have opinions that go against glp are banned

"ban this filth"

and glp users regularly ban users from threads, like the Comedian who bans people ALL THE TIME from his threads

And you know why he gets to do that? Same reason CNN does, because it is a private business

I posted a week ago how this is their play, that's how they are going after free speech.

where the fuck is a source for this at least? Just went too all of these and you can still comment lol

This is the real reason comments have been disabled.
The readers are against their leftist agenda and it shows in the comments. 75% of the country is for Trump, 25% are too scared to speak out in public in order to avoid attacks from the left.
