Title says it all. Half of my comments get rejected despite not going against any community guidelines. My opinions are often against what the "popular or right" opinion being offered is, but isn't that the entire point of a public discourse? No, they much more prefer to steer the conversation to suit their narrative, real journalism.

I've used market watch for awhile now and have noticed a politically fueled news feed. In their community guidelines for comments they praise being an open platform but all comments go through a editor who rejects all dissenting views. Shame on them.

Marketwatch has devolved into another narrative biased censorship platform. I have lots of emails where MW "approved" the comment and then minutes, days or weeks later those exact same comments are "rejected". I made one comment arguing against student loan forgiveness and the comment was "rejected". I replied asking why the comment was rejected only to immediately get over 20 prior comments rejected. Apparently the moderator got mad.
Still enjoying intelligent interaction on other platforms.

Nothing but clickbait headlines to get you to pay them money and in return you get the most incredible garbage product. Do not waste your time with this... Don't even go to yahoo as they push this in their news feed... poor quality. Could do better with dixie cups and a string when it comes to getting information that is useful.

I used to enjoy MarketWatch as a good financial news source. Now I find most articles relate to some political issue commending the 'progressive' value or nullifying the conservative viewpoint. For example, all Congressional spending by Democrats is good, conservative ideas on (lower) spending is not. No longer is there equal reporting of both views of an issue; now they're only reporting the view that the editor supports. Sad to see MarketWatch go downhill like this.

I am writing to bring to your attention the fact that the Dow Jones publication called MarketWatch blatantly and indiscriminately censors their users. I posted several comments that were clearly in line with their community guidelines and had them rejected indiscriminately. My comments were civil and factual, but apparently did not please their editorial staff. I immediately requested that they delete my account. I do not support the suppression of our freedoms of thought and expression in any way. I am bringing this to your attention because censorship on many social media platforms is rampant and must be brought to the public's attention if our hard-fought freedoms are to be preserved. Respectfully.

MW is a classic steering operation. The entire focus is on retail investors (the only people who use it for investing). All the "news" and many of the articles are designed to steer investors to and away from stocks the big money wants retail investors to buy or sell.
Also, the MW "comments" on articles is a censorship operation just like all the other big online "news" outlets. If you don't agree with MW china-like corporate socialist world view your comments will be removed.

MarketWatch has Cars.com as a top-rated way to sell a car. First off, I have had a car on Cars.com for almost 3 months, and only 2 emails stating that people were interested. Neither of the people from these emails contacted me back. Consumer Affairs has a 1.8 rating for Cars.com, which is much more accurate. MarketWatch must get money from and therefore spread propaganda about the companies they supposedly review. But then, MarketWatch has a 1.6 review iteself, nuff said. Do not take anything on a MarketWatch site as truthful.

ABSOLUTE TRASH
May 18, 2021

Disgusting that this company is even still allowed to be in business. It is blatantly obvious that they are pumping their own agenda, backed and bankrolled by Citadel and other hedge funds. Absolute gutter trash, you guys are evil, pathetic, and bottom feeders.
