Serious. Huff post, NYT, CNN, etc.
Why did they suddenly disable their comments sections?

A man could sit down in a small public library full of 30,000 books, and never finish reading them throughout the course of his lifetime, even if he sat there the rest of his life without sleeping.
Thus, at some point or another, a man must listen to the discourse and arguments of others, in order to learn what he could not have hoped to learn on his own.
That is the importance of a comment section. It's a gateway to tens of thousands of people with different life experiences, educations and knowledge, that no single man himself could ever hope to acquire.
Being able to read and assess the arguments of tens of thousands of people on an article ultimately furthers understanding of the content (subject) of which upon the original article is based, regardless of whether or not such commentary either affirms or refutes the premise of the article itself.
For the comments section to be removed from CNN and other "mainstream" websites where the overwhelming majority of the politically interested public will traffic through, tells you that CNN and other such websites fear refutation.
