Surly it can’t be all sites that have a comments section?
Let me ask a blunt question.
Are we losing advertisers because of the toxic political debate?

And I would say not even the politics. Some people can no longer handle a differing opinion. The topic can be what a picture of a rock looks like. Or that a dismissive tone was a grand assault on their personage. Yet they remain capable of recognizing as reacting to a joke in a proper manner.
People are strange. And I have been a people watcher long, long before there was an ATS let alone made staff.
