Worst local Rag on the planet.
the news stories are mostly clickbait, most of them have factual errors and spelling mistakes and they delight in leaving comments sections open for stories that attract racism and hate, but close the comments section for articles they want to protect.
the comment section:
is filled with racism, hate, bile and general trolls, which the daily echo does nothing to address, moderation on the worst comments can take months, if they bother at all.
they have no 2-factor authentication, so anyone banned (they don't ban) can just make a new account and spew more bile.
when i contacted Ben Fishwick about the lack of moderation, his reply was akin to "lol wut story as trolls? innit" (ben.fishwick@).
i think they need to get hit by the new online safety bill, and soon.
