Justin McCarthy commented on Pist off by Pistorius tweets
Peter, please explain what you mean by "unmediated social media"? That sounds suspiciously like an oxymoron.
Unrelated, your presumption that News24 closed its comments section to protect themselves is trite and betrays poor journalistic form (you did verify this Media24, did you not?)
Your accusation of the Pistorius sponsor's motives for removing its billboard advertisements ("they are convicting him along the way") is spurious and falls into the very same category you accuse Twitter commentators of. The double-speak is astonishing.

Your otherwise sensible piece is senselessly punctured by these appalling gaffes.
