In that piece I couldn't help but find so much 'misinformation' I was dying to write a 'comment' about their story in the "comment section." Well, instead of being able to 'post a comment,' as had been the case (until today!) normally. But, "this" is instead what I came across!

A Note to Our Readers
Like many of our fellow publications, we have noticed that the conversation around our articles is increasingly happening on social networks, not in the commenting section. More and more of you are reaching out directly to our authors to engage in lively and considered back-and-forth on Twitter, Facebook and other channels. We are hoping this decision will encourage and amplify more of this conversation.
Now, this doesn’t mean that commenting is gone forever: We are looking at multiple ways to bring you an upgraded commenting experience and would value your feedback at tech@thedailybeast.com.
Best,

Here's the link, click here! And being the person I am (lol), I couldn't help but to immediately write their 'editor,' at the email address listed above, which I would suggest (highly) others do was well. Others who 'care' about "freedom of speech" that is. And here is exactly what I said to the 'editor,'
"What a 'farce' to remove the 'commenting section.' The 'syntax' in which it was stated didn't even make sense. I clearly see it this way; you're losing the 'information war.' You're probably getting too many comments from those who are 'awake,' and not your average 'sheeple,' just agreeing blindly with your propaganda, and having people post and pointing out the 'lies and disinformation' are making it difficult to continue to get 'your version,' of what you want disseminated, so you just 'shut it down.' Great job in attempting to 'stifle' FREE SPEECH!In the end, its only going to cost you to lose readers. I've seen the UK media attempt this same 'tactic,' in having shut down (attempting to) "free speech," which is not only a human right protected here in the US under our constitution, but also in the UK and elsewhere via "common law." So, try as hard as you will to stifle, 'free speech,' just know that the "truth" will always be heard as 'lies and disinformation,' cannot live, nor thrive in darkness. As Hilary Clinton herself stated (and she's your darling), "we are in a war, and we are losing the information war." Coming from her, that's about one of the only true remarks I think I've ever heard come out of her mouth.Free speech is a fundamental human right which can never be 'stopped,' though its been attempted by many throughout history, and it still reigns supreme. Look at the recent 'poll,' of American's "trust" (lack thereof) of the media, it's at an all time low! Newspapers and print media are losing money, and shutting down. Why? People are not as stupid as MSM promoters whom by and and large live in a bubble and are out of touch with the 'common man' would like to believe. And in as far as you have had 'success,' with those whom have been 'asleep at the wheel,' they too are waking up and seeing right through all the 'spin' and how irreverent you all have become. You've done nothing but 'wake up a sleeping giant' with all your bogus propaganda. So, good luck on this idiotic move."
It's a fact, the media has been losing 'credibility.' A poll just published yesterday or day before reflected as much. Hilary 'Rodham' Clinton herself made a 'comment' (possibly the only true statement she's ever made) stating, "We are in a information war, and we are losing that war."
So true!
