Does anybody have an idea what CBC.ca's policy is for closing stories to comments?
I've noticed that comments to some "controversial" stories are left open (gay rights, aboriginal issues), while others (sexual assault) are closed.
This is beginning to bug me, because it looks like the CBC is responding to the relative power of civil society groups (feminism is largely entrenched, but queers and natives still have to fight regressive forces).
Any ideas?
