Why are our local tv channel websites comment sections such cesspools?

CBS channel in Sacramento has a article about the ACA:

Calif. Insurance Commissioner: More Than 1M Californians Having Insurance Cancelled Due To ACA

http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2013/11/12/calif-insurance-commissioner-more-than-1m-californians-having-insurance-cancelled-due-to-obamacare/

but read the article and you find this:

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (CBS Sacramento/AP) — Health insurer Anthem Blue Cross of California has agreed to a two-month extension of about 104,000 individual policies after failing to give the required 90-day cancellation notice, state Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones announced Tuesday.

The policies had been set to expire on Dec. 31 but will be extended until Feb. 28 for those who choose to re-enroll. Notices informing customers of the extension will be sent out this week, Anthem said.

Jones said the company notified the Department of Insurance that it failed to give enough notice because of a computer glitch and voluntarily offered to extend the policies.

More than 1 million cancellation notices have been sent to Californians as the Affordable Care Act begins allowing individuals to buy insurance through exchanges, Jones said. The federal law requires policies to offer minimum levels of coverage, forcing companies to terminate many existing plans. But Jones said that under the law, insurers have another year to do so.

then the shit bowl of freepers swoop in....you'll need boots.

California deserves exactly what they voted for. The way that state thinks makes me sick to my stomach. If Obama was allowed a third term they would STILL vote for him no matter what he did.

Obama wouldn't care if everyone of the one million Californians without insurance died...he hates this country and everyone in it.

He is not going to be impeached.....he is going to suffer the head wound foretold in Revelation 13. Satan will enter into him at that point and bring him back to life. Then the Fema camps and guillotines.

Sorry, California liberals, but I'm gloating this morning.
GOOD! Cancel 'em all and crank their rates up 400 percent.
Without the leftist on the left coast, we wouldn't be in this pickle.
Of course, the bad news is that this is EXACTLY where Barack
wants us — over a barrel and on the way to 100 percent socialism.
Bend over, Amerika, THIS IS GONNA HURT!

California... The land of fruits and nuts harvested by illegal aliens...

THEN: Californians elected and supported liberal politicians who squandered their tax dollars for years. The politicians entitled unions, welfare recipients, government drones, illegal aliens, those still mooching off mom and dad, and other worthless freeloaders, giving them taxpayer dollars. They said it could all be paid for by taxing the rich, taxing big business, taxing their children's future, credit, and other fiscal nonsense. Californians were happy, they were getting a free lunch.

NOW: No health insurance, business is moving out, the rich are moving out, California has maxed out their credit, more freeloaders and illegal moochers are moving in, taxes are going up, inflation is going up and the State is issuing IOUs...

THANK YOU MR. OBAMA... Pleeeeeeze give us some more!



and on an on

Remember we live in a very very blue state.

1. Why such cesspools?

The crap has to go somewhere. After all, it is local news.

[RussBLib]

2. poor conservatives are so repressed...

...they have a smidge of tact and self awareness and know they cannot vent their spleens in public or at work without serious repercussions so online comments are about the only safe place that they can let their true selves slime through.

[Nye Bevan]

3. Why are any unmoderated comments on the internet such cesspools?

Ever read Youtube comments?

[PasadenaTrudy]

6. Oh gawd

Aren't they something else?

[Nye Bevan]

8. Not wanting to sound too sycophantic towards the DU admins,

but the jury system here is a work of genius.

[JHB]

4. It's a form of scent-marking

Consider the personality that feels the need to piddle venom everywhere.

It's the 101st Chairborne's way of policing the "liberal media". Letting them know "we're watching you!"

[PasadenaTrudy]

5. I noticed this too

on our local SoCal news sites. Even the Los Angeles Times comments are unbearable. I just can't subject myself to them anymore, they are obviously from angry, undereducated, ignorant creeps. Oh, I forgot, conservative creeps

[rudolph the red]

7. Local stories often get linked to from site like FR,

and then the mob descends and just overwhelms the comment section with their propaganda. It gets really bad when drudge puts up a link.

[Initech]

9. Download Firefox. Install the Comment Blocker add on. Problem solved.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

10. It's not just the T.V. sites...

its everywhere. Every newspaper site, the Patch, anywhere that people can anonymously post will attract the psychotic idiots who see the chance to say in public what they ordinarily keep to themselves or their little circle of like-minded idiots in fear of being excoriated by the stupid liberals who just can see the truth that they are alone are ready to reveal. The comment section IS the cesspool of the internet and unless you like the odor, keep the cover on and never look in there.
