Stories you can/can't comment on.

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Stories you can/can't comment on.

Post by AkneyGooner »

Maybe someone here who works in da meedja can explian this.

Some stories have a comment section and some just don't why and when does the editor or writter choose to have / not have them. it seems the stronger the subject matter the less likely it is to have a comments section, feels a bit like censorship in a way.

I've often felt like making a comment on various newspaper "feedback" thingies.

Particularly when I see an absolute cuntish comment.

The problem is that you often need to register. And give personal information. Like your email address. Bollocks to that. You are just inviting an endless stream of spam.

I always thought that comments were not allowed in court cases or stories that could lead to defamation. I would imagine the editor protects the publication first..Was registered on the Daily Mail for a while...got loads of abuse from Stoke City fans for offering an opinion on them and their abuse of Aaron Ramsey..
