Desperate to cling onto their ability to dictate reality, the
crumbling mainstream media is beginning to kill off article comment
sections in a cynical bid to silence dissenting voices.
Studies confirm that article comment sections – for better or worse – are heavily swaying public opinion.
How many times have you read a mainstream news article
about NSA spying, drones, gun control or any other other hot button
issue where the author sides with the establishment, only to have their
argument completely eviscerated by a deluge of irate respondents in the
comment section?
Recent polls show that trust in mainstream media is hovering at record lows. After largely failing to influence the court of public opinion
via paid trolls, the establishment is starting to panic and is responding by moving to cull comment sections altogether.
