New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

I’ve used Yahoo mail from force of habit for years. However, their “news” items are straight out the movie “Idiocracy.”

Just this morning I heard an NPR “reporter” refer to the “botched” Israeli raid, and I
immediately thought of the medal given to the guy who killed 6 of the 9 dead,
and how you don’t give a medal to someone for a “botched” job.

Heckuva job, murderer.

The news in the US is all lies and trivia, even at “liberal”, “enlightened” NPR.

gerard,

Sounds like you have att service as I do, all brought to us by
yahoo and lord forbid I thought msbnc, the one website I go to

I was just thinking again this morning how assinine the Yahoo homepage is, every day, day after day, featuring “news” items totally superficial, of absolutely no value whatsoever.  Like, who clicks on that trash?  More than enough people, no doubt, whereas Truthdig .....

Ah yes, the msm does provide such intellectual thought on such
subjects of great moment.
