The website of the 141-year-old Popular Science magazine will no longer be allowing comments on its articles. The online content director explains why, saying "because comments sections tend to be a grotesque reflection of the media
culture surrounding them, the cynical work of undermining bedrock
scientific doctrine is now being done beneath our own stories, within a
website devoted to championing science": http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-09/why-were-shutting-our-comments
And along those lines, Stephen Colbert comments on youtube's move to moderate comments (not for the younger crowd) (video): http://www.hulu.com/watch/537751
