  3. I never read comments on those things. The number of comments is inversely proportional to the intelligence of their content.

    Update: I have to change my mind on this. There’s actually a pretty good discussion thread going there. The voting system seems to have done them some good.

  5. What, you guys don’t think that North Koreans can’t just overthrow their government like the American Revolution?

  6. Nice article, maybe you will get more readers over here [and to the other great sites you link to] so that people can educate themselves more on the real issues and the possible ways of making change happen in a backward place. The general idiocy in the comments sections of mainstream media always surprises me–it’s as if some people make it their job to troll and spread misinformation and vitriol when they can.

  8. I sift the wheat from the chaff in comment threads by hitting the “best” or “most liked” sort function and reading only the original comments and skipping past the bickering replies. Informed commenters provide helpful fact-checking and logical counter arguments to stories and opinion pieces phoned in by rent-a-pundits like plagiarizer Fareed Zakaria, whose op-ed contributions on topics they know little about embody the wisdom of the saying about a Jack of all trades being master of none. The comments most favored by readers of your collaborative opinion piece were in agreement with its content. BTW, we have our own fifty-cent party here in the US:

    Nice to see you blogging again and hope all is well with you.
