Comment about how lopsided the Zero's comment sections are

One of the rare, fair comments on the Zero's stories:

Groupthink

It's interesting to me how lopsided The Olympian comment sections tend to be. Almost every hour of the day you'll find most of the threads dominated by the usual crew of right-wing commentators. These aren't folks who enjoy a good graduate-level seminar, but rather tend toward the "hot talk" of Rush Limbaugh -- the main point is to attack and disparage.

You can see that here with the charge that unions "terrorize." That's such an over-the-top mischaracterization that it doesn't even deserve a response.

So where are The Olympian's mainstream readers? They usually don't bother to participate here. I don't blame them. This isn't really a community-wide forum for dialogue -- it's a dumping ground for right-wing talking points.
