It might be even more simple than that, it could be that too many times they have looked at the comments that followed there stories and seen how stupid their article was in the first place, and had their millennial feelings hurt.

I had the thought that hurt feelings of the letter writers (millennials or not) may have been a contributing factor to stooping commenting.
My feeling is; if you can’t stand the heat…

That’s a good catch. Sometimes even letters obviously written by children came in for vile personal attacks. I wouldn’t want to encourage such things if I were editor.

Always good to know what’s going on in the lives of a Hitler apologist and an Alex Jones protege. Thanks for the update, John!

It is easy and low-brow to criticize sources using general accusations or mere character assassination. It may even be witch hunting. Is there something specific in the video you object to, possibly some factual statement or point of philosophy?

You’ve certainly learned the lingo of the lunatic fringe.
He simply stated an obvious, and documented, fact.

RE: “He simply stated an obvious, and documented, fact.”
If its a documented fact, share the documentation. Otherwise, you are just making an unsubstantiated assertion.
Here, for example, the unsubstantiated assertion that Watson is a “Hitler apologist” is not credible on its face. I have watched many Watson videos over many years and have never come across any statement that is even remotely favorable to Hitler.
If you want to be taken seriously, your commentary will have to be serious.

“want to be taken seriously,”
Your defense of Watson has insured that no one will take you seriously.
The fact that you have watched “many Watson videos” may be part of your lack of perspective. IMO.

Forgot to hit “reply.” Still getting used to this format. See response above or below or wherever it ends up.

The “accusations” were quite specific, and both demonstrably true.
Until you stop incorrectly calling everything you don’t like “Marxist,” and stop sharing posts from people like Owens and Watson, who owe their fame to a Koch-funded astroturf group and carrying water for Alex Jones’ brain pill empire (two more “accusations”), respectively, you don’t get to call others “low-brow.”
These two are grifters, not worthy of anyone’s time. There are intelligent reactionaries (I assume). You should spend your time reading them.

Yes, I do. But here I didn’t even do that.
Do you have something to share other than an attack on me personally?

Disagreeing with you or challenging the legitimacy of the content you choose to share is not a personal attack.
