The Daily Beast, And Its Attempt To Stifle Free Speech

I had just gone to the Daily Beast (liberal paper, don't usually even bother reading) to read an article about a comment made by Cameron (UK prime minister), and Russia, interfering or not targeting "ISIS" but rather anti-Assad "freedom-fighters" which is a joke in itself. 

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

As of today, we will be removing the commenting function off our site.
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,
The Daily Beast Team" 

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,'

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!
