I find that smaller news outlets are better at policing themselves. Obviously, it’s easier for them. Yes, it also shows up at CNN, but not nearly as vehemently. Jews, Hispanics, Muslims, whatever the minority, Yahoo is the King of Mean.
I think the moderators are trained to remove comments that contain certain naughty words, and spam comments. Everything else, it would seem, is allowed.
