Like many other media companies, CNN maintains a system allowing the public to comment on its articles (though most articles on CNN are excluded from any public commentary). CNN can do what it wants with comments in its forum, but it seeks to create the illusion that it fosters public discourse while rigorously censoring comments. CNN lies when it declares that it does not engage in censorship; it frequently deletes comments entirely in keeping with its community guidelines, especially any criticizing its censorship.
