Truth channels shutting down
For several years UK Telegraph's website was worth reading, and worth the expense of subscribing. Their own writers are identical to Fox, CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes, etc. Infinitely evil superidiots. Worse than most in terms of basic prose and editing.
Commenters were the reason I read the articles. Always smart, often teaching me
something I didn't already know.
That's the exact definition of NEWS. Data you couldn't automatically see for yourself, conclusions you couldn't automatically reach.
Over the last few months the Telegraph has been steadily shutting down comments. Not quite zero yet, but close enough to cancel my subscription. To verify, I clicked into all the non-sports stories on today's front page. Out of 20, only one allowed comments.
