Times of india, comments on news..

It is quite shocking how the Times of india scrutinize comments which are posted on the news.
Personally, I added (sent) few comment on different news articles. Despite of sober and polite comments they were never published.
There was no swearing or anything ridiculous..
Other comments were just ridiculous to b published by reputable news paper.
Examples

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/3726631.cms

And many of news related to Raj Thakrey controversy.
One of the worst is http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/debate/msid-2761068,curpg-7.cms

By publishing selective comments is media fuelling or extinguishing serious issues?
War of comments on a particular news does turn sometimes nasty, reveals lots of frustration and attitude.
