    It’s important to the conversation. This is the point she is making. The conversation can drive the story in the Web 2.0 world. Trolls kill the conversation.

    What is she trying to tell us? How to make better comments. Why is that important for a journalist?

    Are you making a point or condoning troll behavior?

    People don’t do wrong. It is a simple principle of normative individualism in open societies. If you “cry” as a reporter about what people say, than change your job. The internet does a great deal to educate the Americans that their cultivated pro-”consensus” culture is flawed. Journalism is not about the creation of a cozy consensus, it is about conflict.
