Now we know why al.com removed the ability to comment on articles in November 2019. This was done so their lies would not be directly challenged below their print.
You should really look into who prints your local paper. In my town, its owned by USA Today (Gannett Media). Gannett media's office is just outside of DC. They own so many local papers, and push their narratives. I cancelled my subscription to my local paper because I noticed I had been getting billed more than my subscription rate. I inquired about this assuming it was a error on billing. It wasn't... They issue special editions each month that one cannot opt out of this service with their subscription. These special editions cost $6/edition and its garbage. It's cultural Marxism shit that I throw away whenever it comes with my paper. This is where we are in America. Local papers are going extinct, being bought by these Globohomo anti-American groups and pushing their narratives. I just wanted my local news. So many elderly in my town receive the paper thinking they're getting the local news. They are, but unfortunately, its being fed to them by these groups. Yes, there are still local journalists but I am sure their editors are with Gannett. I hope that there will be a renaissance with the local papers. There needs to be.
I remember Google made some announcement at that time about "moderated forums", and search engine result priority - essentially if you have an unmoderated comment section, you get penalised in search,

All reader-submitted comment sections were purged from fake-news sites for this reason.
A large group of local newspapers that were moved online are hosted by Condé Nast, a gigantic liberal print media conglomerate. There's a nola.

Here, a Denver Post carrier tried to give me a copy of the paper, I told him that I don't have a bird cage. He was put aback by that.. 😉

So a search algo thats not a search algo at all but rather a ranking of suppression.
People figured out what google were before they actually announced it, but its still nice to see some disclosure and transparency now and then.
