Hi Guys,
I have not been doing much posting lately but I noticed both NYT and Huff comments are really seriously right wing. Climate change and allowing little kids from central america safety. On this last I got three recommends where all those right wing comments got 80 and 90 recommends.
I could not even read all the comments on the latest climate change text. All horrible.
Is it me? or has anyone else noticed this?
thanks
Meg

The real work is getting done privately at smaller, more obscure blogs ... or not online at all.

The yahoo comment section is down right comical if you read them.
