Especially the "Submit Rant" button at the borttom of each story which is supposed to be used to submit public input on their stories. Don't bother! The Times edits almost every comment into oblivion, which is the opposite of TBO, which prints almost everything--this at least makes for some lively discussion. Who's is the real fascist?
