No. It is a waste of time. +1 Really, what's the point? No one ever changes their position on an issue just because some faceless stranger posts a contrary position online. It's really all about self-affirmation of already long-held beliefs.

I was quite active in a very leftist Austrian newspaper, mostly shooting holes into their "articles". Eventually they blocked me. LOL. Yep, that will happen every time!

Nope, I care about those about as much as my first pair of socks. My wife does quite a bit tho, she has a passion for harassing the Pro-Beijing bloggers in Hong Kong, rubbing their nose into their very own sh!t. Useless but might just as well do it while still allowed... :-/

I read a lot and comment a little on such blogs as "Cdr Salamander", "Transterrestrial Musings" and "USNI News". They are well moderated and mostly visited/commented on by mature, sane adults.

Depends. Most "news Outlets" are actually blogs in one form or another.
I comment on some. For "news", almost always it is in the hope that somebody out there gets the actual facts instead of the "Agreed On By the Ignorant Group of Laymen" facts that the innerwebz has adopted instead of the reality of the universe.
But more commonly it's hockey blogs I comment on. But you'd be surprised. It might seem like nobody takes into consideration what the comments on a blog have to say, but once in a while somebody has a "wow that's something I didn't consider" moment. Also not everyone who reads comments in turn then replies.
With hockey blogs...I'm more than happy to explain why my opinion is right and yours is wrong. It's all for fun.
