Freep to discontinue comments on articles

Pretty weak in my mind. They selectively allowed comments anyway. Primadonnas like Albom never were subject to comments, they cannot handle criticism.

Another reason to stop minding legacy media.

Let’s see what Detroit news does.

It was a breeding ground for racism anyways.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

Was it? How? According to AllSides Media Bias Ratings The Detroit Free Press is rated -2.00 meaning it leans to the left. So how would the comments be a “ breeding ground for racism”? Unless it’s reverse racism.

It was the tRumpanzees that posted their sludge in the comments section, not the Free Press itself, that contained the racist BS.
Dropping knowledge on forum MAGAts.
Unapologetically intellectually superior.

Comment sections are unmitigated cesspools no matter where they're located.
