Oh is there ever a need for vetting.

My hope for this emerging medium is that it can exceed the abysmal standards of a dying corporate media assemblage by merely having a higher quality product.

But I have seen many of the usual suspect blog sites turn into some cyber version of the raucous pamphleteering of the nations earliest days.

Without trying to sound like a tin foil hat wearer, I have seen lots of false flag posts and troll overruns in many of the ineptly moderated venues. Some are so sloppy that there were whole runs of diaries that were plainly phony usually pretend PUMA's or some such thing.

Al's added dilligence is what adds value to The Field and the absence of this effort at so many wanna be shops is why they are descending to low value crap.

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
