I am so sick of "news" sources posting their biased hit pieces without any forum for comment. NO CREDIBLE institution leaves the conversation one
way.
If you want to post a piece on how cheating helped your marriage, make sure comments are enabled. If you want to make an argument about gun control,
make sure comments are enabled.
Do anything less and you're just a coward spouting personal ideals in a closed forum and should under no circumstances be taken seriously.
If it is someone;s personal blog, it is up to them. Maybe they don't want trolls or don;t have time to respond to each person and would want to
attempt it if comments were enabled.
For awhile FOX news disabled comments on their site (that was probably a good idea), but they put them back. CNN has comments enabled on some articles
but not all, all the time. Infowars should really just turn theirs off..forever lol.
There are plenty of places on the internet to comment. Once you are signed up for Disqus, you can find really, too many, places to give your opinion.
I don't think we are lacking in places to comment on the internet.

You might be forgetting when we just had newspapers. People could write letters to in rebuttal to an opinion piece and the editor might pick one or 2
the next week to print, or not.
