[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]comments are largely negative.  NYT readers have turned the corner on diversity measures, I guess. [/quote]

The comments on migrant and affirmative action articles in NYT always more negative than positive commenters. Considering the average subscriber is more liberal than the average American, I normally take it as a sort of litmus test politicians, institutions, etc. have gone too far to the left on some topics. WSJ commenters are much more conservative on almost every issue. [/quote]

Not necessarily. There are concerted efforts on public comment sites -- this or social media -- to influence the narrative. I would not draw conclusions about NYT readers' views from comments thread on an article.[/quote]

I’m the person you’re quoting and I disagree to with you mostly. DCUM, Reddit, Twitter, public forums, etc. yes, this may be the case. But NYT, WSJ, and WaPo require a paid subscription with your billing attached to comment. They’re not getting brigaded by people with an agenda.[/quote]
