This is a generalization that I’m about to voice; that said, I believe it has enough validity to call it a generalization and not a stereotype.
Every liberal-leaning blog I’ve read, whether focused on local, regional or national issues, has always allowed open posts/commentary by all readers.
Conservative blogs? Not nearly so consistent. Many don’t allow posting, even though, with a Blogger blog, it’s simple and easy to configure the posts setting to allow comments by all readers rather than just the owner(s) of that blog.
Hmm. Makes you wonder who really wants to have “a discussion of ideas” and who doesn’t, now, doesn’t it? And that’s also true whether it’s local, regional or national issues.
