Letters to the Editor

"I challenge you to find any editor in chief of any Web site or publication like Salon who engages more."
Interested readers might want to check out Brian Williams' blog, "The Daily Nightly," for example, to see how he engages with his readers. Or not.
Another commenter recently noted (on Greenwald's blog?) that Williams was no longer posting all comments, but moderating them, and posting only the "friendly" ones.
He's taken a lot of heat lately (and deservedly so) for ignoring the NYTimes' story on the Pentagon's sockpuppetgenerals. [NBC was one of the prime offenders.]
In any case, Joan's right. She does interact with readers more than other editors of similar publications. And she doesn't even censor or delete some of the most odious posts (you know who you are)... ones that I would cheerfully delete if it were up to me. But then I must be one of those authoritarian leftists you're always hearing about who risks getting called a concern troll because I object to men using women's body parts as epithets. Oh, woe is me...
