The local monopoly rag in these parts just disabled all comments on their website. They had only allowed them for a few months; they did not "announce" the start of this feature; and they never allowed them for the opinion pieces (where you would think that an exchange of ideas would most likely occur). They suddenly discontinued them. Their reason? They could not afford to continue to employ comment moderators. No, I'm not making this up. And you know what’s funny?
