2. CALIFORNIA on line NEWSPAPERS has a ton of comments by

Ring Wing Trolls who log on from (under their damn bridges...) and wreak havoc with normal comments from Liberal members of the community. I get sick and tired of reading racist comments, Misogynist comments, sexist comments, and general hate and garbage posts in places like the San Francisco Chronicle, a paper targeted by the GOP and Right wing organizations.
