We're Not Gonna Take It

Check out the comments on the NYT's new blog. They're getting hammered over putting a meaningless story about the Clinton's sex life on today's front page. And rightfully so. Apparently they're already moderating and banning comments and commenters.

What’s the over/under on when comments are frozen and the thread gets locked? I say 5:00PST.

Some people just can’t take the heat (and yet they keep going back in the sensationalism kitchen, to torture a metaphor). They can't believe the rabble (you know, the ones that actually read their paper) are so impudent as to actually talk back to them! They didn't know that journalism was a two-way street. Well they're learning.
