Is the Star Tribune censoring criticism on its website?
Filed under: Media
Now comes word, via the comments section, that the Strib may be extending its P.R. campaign into censoring reader comments on its website.
Several readers allege they left comments on the original article that were deleted because the point of view was negative toward the Star Tribune.
Will the Star Tribune censor... ...these comments, too? In their first story over the weekend eight people left comments. When they weren't going in the Star Tribunes favor they were deleted and no more comments were allowed.posted by Average_Joe on May. 6, 08 at 6:15 AM |

I was wondering what happened to a short comment I made yesterday. I thought I was losing my mind... Wow. It's like we're in second grade all over again if this is how it's going to be.posted by DainVeli on May. 6, 08 at 12:13 PM |

The comments feature does appear to be off on the article.

Is it any wonder they have never allowed a comment to respond to the gossip queen?
How they keep CJ on payroll is beyond all comprehension.

If they're pulling comments, that's lame. I left around 90 comments on my blog slamming WCCO for firing Paul Douglas. If you're gonna be open and let people comment, you have to take the hits occasionally.

What criteria does Strib use to determine whether to allow user comments on an article? I don't blame Strib for censoring comments, and was surprised that they haven't before. Most of the Strib comments are borderline YouTube comments, anyway.

Post one little criticism of the sorry state of Strib political stenographers--Kevin Diaz in particular--and the comment will never appear. This has been going on since the paper started taking comments.
