If a major news distributor made racist comments on any of it's media outlets (tv, paper or internet) there would be a public outcry (I hope)
How is it that racist comments are allowed to proliferate on their websites... Aren't the editors responsible for maintaining a minimum of civility on their discussion boards?
I am going to have to stop reading my news anywhere user comments are allowed, because I am starting to feel sick in the stomach.
See some examples below:
CNN
The Montreal Gazette
There are so many others that it is disheartening. Everyday, respectable news sources are flooded by these idiots. Editors please unite against this sort of drivel and moderate your discussion boards.
If you're not willing to do that, force people to identify themselves, see how brave they are when people can see their names and street adress.
