Much has been discussed about the Washington Post closing down the comments option on their blogs.
One time zone to the right of the Post, the Chicago Tribune has a number of worthy blogs that still allow (with policing) comments.
The Swamp is the Trib's Washington Bureau's blog. The Tribune's Internet critic, Steve Johnson, just started his blog, Hypertext. I added a comment yesterday to this post that politely disagreed with Steve's view on the viability of citizen-journalism.
Eric Zorn's blog is the best of the bunch at the Tribune. Although I'm biased since I've been a contributor to his blog a couple of times.
UPDATE 11:45 AM: Pat from Brainster in the comments informs me that only a couple of WashPo blogs have had to shut down the comments option. Silly me, I saw the astrology blog didn't have a comments section, but now I realize that blog probably never allowed them.
