This platform employs their own 'Comment-ers' for the news stories. It's an organized effort to control public opinion. These 'professional employee comment-ers' argue both sides of the headlines, seem in an effort to sway opinions or to calm sentiments, ...likely which ever way the boss' dictate. It's just like DISQUS and similar. Likely, tax dollar's pay for this 'news service' as well. (Doubt they will show my/this review)
