> CNN is a publisher. They are responsible for anything that gets posted on their website, and can get sued accordingly.

This isn't true though. CNN/NYTimes/etc can't be sued for 3rd party comments on their site. CNN is also allowed to filter what comments make it on their site. These are not opposing ideas.

They already don't allow commenting on most articles. Makes you wonder what they are afraid of...

The briefest investigation of the comments sections of local news sites explains what they're not only afraid of, but perfectly rationally expecting amd shrewdly avoiding.

I don't follow much local news this days, can you share an example?

I grew up reading the NYTimes online and thought that the discussion section offered great debate. I think it might have become a case of it is too expensive to moderate? Do people just post ads and spam? Because in my mind, active discussion is always good
