They already don't allow commenting on most articles. Makes you wonder what they are afraid of...

The briefest investigation of the comments sections of local news sites explains what they're not only afraid of, but perfectly rationally expecting amd shrewdly avoiding.

I don't follow much local news this days, can you share an example?
