I've also seen good comments on Breitabart that didn't violate any policy get removed, just as on ABC News. Readers can flag comments of course but it's moderators who do the actual removing, and don't even get me started on the list of words that can't be used now on Breitbart. For some bizarre reason, you can't use the name "Val" in a comment. You can use the word "killed", but not "kill", so you couldn't easily comment on the book, "To Kill a Mocking Bird". You can say "Jewish people" but not "Jews", which means that you have to get creative when commenting in support of Trump's support for Israel, or expressing disdain for attacks on places of worship. There are many more Orwellian examples of this as well.
Not sure what's driving this but I suspect that "money issues", advertisers leaving, and pressure from entities like Disqus has something to do with it. Meanwhile, Breitbart is now flooded with liberal trolls. A very few try to interact in thoughtful ways but most come to mock, ridicule, stereotype, agitate, condemn, preach and annoy. Breitbart doesn't seem to have a problem with them, despite their presence undermining the conservative sense of community that many once found on this site.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if someone with an agenda bought the site or someone was hired that is far less conservative.
