Hiring a full-time moderator is cost prohibitive for lots of websites, but if commenters are running around posting about how the south will rise again, how certain people are inferior, that sort of crap, advertisers won't want their brand associated with it and will pull out. Ditto Google. If I work for Bob's Supermarket and I see my ad come up in Adwords on a page that has commentors talking about rape, murder and possibly cannibalism, I'm going to tell Google to either keep me off of that site or I'll stop paying for Adwords entirely. No advertisers = no ad dollars.

Those comments were made through Facebook and people can report comments. We have free speech in this country. I see a Rite Aid advertisement on this page, how much does this site pay to have comments moderated so people don't talk about murder.
