Fox News Disables Comments

I find it interesting that Fox News has effectively disabled commenting from stories with any meat to them.  Checking their FAQs and other support areas i found this answer dated yesterday (05/21/12) to the question "Does Fox News allow commenting?"
The Answer:
"We do! FoxNews.com believes your comments contribute value to the site experience and we support conversation on a selected stories across the site. We encourage you make your comments insightful and to keep a respectful tone toward others."
Ironically this topic was closed to comments as they had the gall to put that on the page (i didn't expect them to allow it as it was in the form of a FAQ).  Further searching showed nothing useful or informative regarding the reason.


I personally liked commenting on the hot topics of the day despite the impolite mantras from both extreme sides of the fence.  There is good information to be gleaned if one has the patience.


The efforts of Disqus to regulate the conversation with software would have to rank somewhere between dismal failure and ludicrous.  A few known flag words:
black
nazi
rupert murdoch (i tested this one to be sure)
kill
shoot


I still have posts i never figured out what stopped them from going through the "moderator".  It's half the reason i started this blog.  Many are in this blog.
What's the point of this post/blog?  Idk, just keeping track of stuff.
