Comments by veteran CNN comments section poo poo posters indicate that CNN is systematically shutting down their comments section. Only 1 story on the front page has comments open at the moment.

Makes me wonder if the sheer level of retardation was beginning to have a impact on their profit margin. I have a hard time believing it had anything to do with trying to regain their status as a respected source of news.

Could be a sad day for beginner trolls worldwide.

if your a heinous rude dude you probably watch fox news, and the bleeding hearts are all on MSNBC, so that leaves mental invalids and people trapped in airports for CNN.
