The comments were a nice contrast to the force-fed corporate media frame of view. I knew they wouldn't last because any chickensh*t corporate entity would view them a too risky. But it's basically just censorship and further watering down of the ability to express oneself openly on the internet. It was the main reason for using Yahoo news, and now I am finished with that site because it's now like all the other mindless narratives you'd get anywhere else.
