re: #381 J.S.

Might also add, btw, that when a “news” website allows racist, hate-filled comments to remain in a comments section — that’s bad — but what’s even worse is when such a “news” website has “moderators”, and yet, the same sorts of comments are allowed to stand…now, that’s a definite endorsement…

Well, sometimes. Sometimes it’s shitty moderation, sometimes the siteowner has a policy about never deleting anything…I’m leery of using the cherry picked comment strategy to conclude anything about a blog, its owner, or a site in general. It’s been used to smear people on both sides too often — including LGF too, all the time.

In the case of Fox, 1) it’s not a blog, 2) they clearly have the money to hire moderators and do the policing, and 3) it’s completely overrun with this shite. So they deserve the condemnation in my book.
