They say "Leave a comment on social networks" ... Okay, like anyone is going to do that. They don't want people seeing the truth, just listen to their narrative and be a good boy. Quoting: AntiPC If you leave it on social networks, they can track and troll you if you are against them. That is how it works. Cyber Bullying in the political arena. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 70500504 United States 10/06/2015 10:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most news sites have disabled comments on politic posts. Quoting: AntiPC My theory is that this decreases the odds of someone waking people up in the comment section. Has anyone else noticed? Yes, some sites won't even let you delete your account or comments anymore. The "Elite" are nothing but cowards. |

Roxi User ID: 70299824 United States 10/06/2015 10:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was watching cspan maybe about two weeks ago. The host, Getchen, Greta or something like that, was taking only calls from Democrats. Granted they are slick, often calling in on the Republican line. Well, a guy calls in on the Democrat line and proceeds to tell her the reason he was calling in on the Dem line but a Republican was because when he would call the on the R line, he would get disconnected, and this happened several times to him. Watch this woman, her smugness, body language to callers. Even cspan has gone south. |

AntiPC (OP) User ID: 40425014 United States 10/06/2015 10:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I usually read the headline and the first paragraph or so to get the jist of the story, then scroll down and read the comments for the real story. If there are no comments I don't bother with the story. Quoting: Copperhead Hmm good idea, hadn't thought about that. It's like they make you angry on purpose, then remove the way to vent your anger. This forces the narrative on people in a whole new way. The people's voice is completely taken away. Welfare won't fix poverty. |

They say "Leave a comment on social networks" ... Okay, like anyone is going to do that. They don't want people seeing the truth, just listen to their narrative and be a good boy. Quoting: AntiPC The reason they are doing this is because they have SEEN the comments and realized people aren't buying their BS anymore, so they want to shut it down for fear of consolidation and action counter to their (news sites) narrative. |

Quoting: AntiPC Yep yahoo also for most part although they have started using links to other sites too. As for using social media to comment, they know people want privacy with comments and so few will use it etc. |
