2. Most newspapers don't employ anyone to police their message boards

This is one of the inherent problems with "interactive journalism."

3. Freedom of Speech

Yeah, I hate it when that pesky freedom of speech things get in the way. Freedom of speech means the freedom to be an idiot, to be racist or to be a thoughtful, well spoken person. For you to say this is a problem with interactive journalism is one of the most arrogant things I have ever heard. The KKK is just as entitled to their position as you are.
