    HuffPo commenting policy

    One thing that troubles me about this whole brouhaha- why didn't HuffPo block the comments before they were posted?

    Before you say "they can't because they don't screen the comments," you're wrong. HuffPo has staffers that read comments before they're posted to the article. It's one of the big problems I (and others) have with HuffPo, because it takes forever (and a few complaints to tech support) to get your comment up, and by then you're out of step with the rest of the commenters.

    Now, Arianna has not mentioned anything about why they didn't block the comments in the first place. So...has her commenting policy changed (to enable immediate publishing), did her staffers miss this, or what?
