What's the level of informed that's required?

And if you need to be informed to comment online should also require the same levels for voting. It seems it would be just as if not more so for the latter.

Also, who's deciding the truth so that we know what informed is?

I think the point is that there are enough outlets, and the barriers creating them are so low, that you, Guthur, could create one with the threshold you wish. If others agreed it would become popular.

And that seems to be the position of the Inquirer (and nj.com that they reference): they are outsourcing comments to Twitter, FB etc)
