The latter, however, offers the information on how readers think.
NOT A TEACHER
You may be interested in knowing that many American newspaper websites
do not allow comments on certain "hot potatoes" (controversial topics) such
as racial and religious matters. This is a language forum, so we cannot discuss
this matter in depth. The point is: when you read comments on a newspaper website,
please remember that it may not be a true representation of public opinion. Some
comments may have been deleted by the moderator. (I love the media section of the
Guardian newspaper in London. People comment on the news regarding the media.
Quite frequently, however, there will appear a notice that a comment has been deleted
because it does not meet the Guardian's standards of what one may and may not
say.)
