Thread: I was Edited by The Miami Herald

They have comments you can write after articles in the Miami Herlad. There are several about amnesty and most are against it. In one of the articles I made a comment. It said: "illegals are working here illegally, driving without a license and insurance and/or using fake ID. Do you really think they will all become law abiding citizens if they get amnesty?" This comment was removed and considered hateful. Do you find it hateful?

Not at all, IMO. Just stating facts that have been brought forth by many of the news stories on this website.

Thanks Vortex. Actually I was not the only one whose comment was removed. I wish I would have seen some of the others that were removed. One thing I have noticed with the comments and that is if you write true things about illegals often times your comments are removed. Yet people will write real racist or stereotypical comments about blacks which are truly offensive and they do not get removed.

The Daily Snooze just removes the entire comment section when the posts don't go their way. Not only that I just noticed today that online articles are edited after being posted!

Not hateful to me but I don't know what their comment rules are.
I sometime get deleted by USA TODAY when I put a link to info at ALIPAC in my comment. It used to be much worse. Now they only delete a link to ALIPAC if another reader complains about it.

A few years back I was kicked off USA TODAY every time I turned around. I have so many fake email addresses that I had to use to post comment there that I can even remember them all.

I mellowed out some and they changed their rules some and now we get along most of the time over there.
