#2Their left leaning narrative can't take facts at this point. The sheer amount of lean really comes out of their choice of what to cover. They know it's easy to just offload comments onto another service. Any news source w/o comments is basically propaganda at this point.

I think the main issue is that most comments (about npr news) are happening off nor properties and the only ones left commenting on their properties are a core not representative of their general audience.

Left leaning sure, but i have heard them blast people on the left plenty of times. If you listen to them regularly you would see that. The problem with most on the right is they hear one news outlet say something negative about the right and they turn off the channel and assume they are all on a right wing bashing spree. NPR is not this way in the least bit. This is coming from a republican.

#5With all the sites getting rid of comments. I wonder if a market is opening for something like hackernews in other niches ?

With automated troll armies it's hard to have a reasonable comments section.

#8Their argument is bogus. It's either cost or a laziness in moderation.
The ability to discuss specific articles and topics regarding specific source material is valuable. Having to search for the hashtag or article link on reddit or twitter to try to debate a topic is much, much less engaging, and is much more separated from the NPR writers and ombudsmen.

Comments are a propaganda tool at this point. Commentary is bought and sold to support whatever narrative the purchaser wants.

Or perhaps they just realized that comments sections are awful places for discussion, and that the kind of vitriolic discourse that happens there might actually be harming the reader's experience instead of enhancing it?
