I have been banned from commenting on their site. I make more than sure that my comments are form and direct without cuss words.
Their website constantly crashes and has some kind of issues that keep it from performing even the basic operating functions needed.

KSL comment moderators are the worst! You can be diplomatic and on point when posting a comment or response, but if your comment/response doesn't conform to the subjective narrative they wish to push, they won't approve your comment. They don't want an objective discussion; they only want to push their desired narrative and will censor out comments that contribute to critical thinking. KSL lives in the same cesspool as many other news outlets.

Extreme censoring!
November 3, 2021

It's disheartening when our local news station is as bad as the rest of the media. It's one thing to censor out bullying, swearing etc., but they have biased moderators who censor out 90% of the comments. They let in just enough opposing comments to stir things up and the rest of the approved comments are allowed to tear the opposition apart. Their FB posts on the other hand, are not moderated and it is glaringly obvious when the majority have a differing opinion. Everyone knows the web page comments are censored, so they might even gain credibility if they just did away with the comments altogether. When everyone says media is the problem, that includes KSL. I'll go somewhere else for my news from now on.

Why even bother going to this site anymore? You are practically barred from voicing any opinion you have because you can't even be sarcastic or disagree with another person without your comment being rejected, yet low and behold a see a lot of conservative comments accepted that BLATANTLY have misinformation in them (such as the election was stolen) and those comments are just fine but if you want to write opinion about how that person is wrong then you'll be rejected. **** KSL and **** it's right wing moderators who have made the comment section unusable. It's such a trash site. They don't even allow a discussion to happen because you're allowed ONE parent comment and ONE reply and it just kills any and all talk that could be happening from people within the state. If you're a ksl moderator or you're in that department that hires the moderators just know you're scum.

Where should I start. First, I believe Mike Lee is correct. The LDS church should sell ksl. It only makes them look bad. They are not objective and most of their reporting is left leaning biased. They construe the news until it is unrecognizable. They try to invite fear and their own personal opinion without facts. When you try to post facts in the comments, they won't post them. I have been reading KUTV website and it is like night and day. If you want local news in Utah, KUTV is a lot less biased. KSL classified is bad also because they don't check for scams and they have no protections against spam usage of emails.

Rafael fragoso with his partner, the wall laid on the 50 square feet kitchen wall in less than eight hours. It is really efficient, the quality is good, and the cleaning work is also done perfectly. I am ready to recommend their tile businesses to my Family and friends!

After reading so many left and far left posting, and after having so many of my conservative leaning postings deleted and then reading these ratings which say the same thing that I'm experiencing, KSL is a really bad news organization. It needs to be replaced by a balanced news organization

Child Porn
December 17, 2023

I don't know if yall know this but I worked for University of Utah from 2000 to 2012. In 2000 the computer tech guys came through the X-ray department to check the computers like they did every year. They found on the head of the Radiology department's head, child porn on his computer. He quiteletly dissapeared. The hospital quietly got rid of him to not expose the hospital. Just thought you should know.

Censorship!
May 1, 2018

If your post doesn't agree with KSL's self-righteous, liberal bias, then forget about ever seeing it published. Even if your common-sense opinion goes against their agenda, you'll never see it online. This type of censorship makes my skin crawl. No wonder KSL is losing readership.

Try to have the commentator Gods post your truthful comments on this website and you'll be nothing but disappointed. Sometimes I wish there was a Hitler style mafia that singled out these types of people who think they know what's good for the masses.

Comment Board SJW
August 17, 2018

Who ever is in charge of the comment board is one soft snowflake. I have had many comments rejected for no reason and when asked about it all they can say is its up to them. Sounds like censorship to me. Heaven forbid you make any comment about Mormons that's not anything short of pure praise. Maybe one day they will get their head out of their A$$. Doubt it

Every time there's some trash talk about republicans or our president, it's headline news. But when the President does something extremely good for the country and it's citizens the news reports get showed down to the bottom of the column. I've tried to comment on some posts but because I write logical stuff and to be clear none offensive, they do t pass their review board.

KSL articles support liberal left ideologies including: promote abortion, question the 2nd amendment, promote climate change politics, promote mandatory vaccination, vilify all things Trump and GOP, vilify gun owners, promote lockdowns, vilify alternative covid treatments, promote war involvement including sending US forces to Ukraine, promote legalization of recreational drugs. Articles are typically very one sided, left leaning and include no relevant alternative views. Many of their articles are so one-sided, years ago they would be called editorials. KSL allow readers to comment on articles, but most of my polite but opposing view comments have been cancelled, not accepted.

Leftist Moderators
January 30, 2021

I have been censored multiple times for giving opinions and citing sources that disagree with leftist thinking. Although none of them have been inflammatory in any way, they block my comments claiming technical reasons instead of just coming out and saying they're blocking me. I am able to thumbs up/down comments but that is it. Just one more media outlet that refuses to be objective in their journalism.
To be clear I don't want an outlet to skew right or left but to ask questions from both sides. Here's a thought: What if two competent journalist, one from the left and one from the right, both covered a story and asked questions? You might just get the truth once in a while.

Love KSL
April 19, 2012

Love KSL. The classified section is what people in Utah use; there's far greater exposure in it compared to sites like Craigslist in the local market. They seem to be building out the Jobs, Homes, Services, and Deals sections quite a bit too. News is news for the most part, but their site is easy to navigate and less frustrating than others when trying to keep up on current events.

I've probably commented 300 times and at least 100 were rejected. I am rarely rejected when commenting on other websites as I don't use crude language. KSL censors with the best of them, particularly if you are conservative or in opposition to one of their articles then there is a good chance your comment will be rejected.

I can comment on www.desnews.com without issue and don't recall ever being rejected.

KSL also won't often check their classifieds for fraudulent postings.

I've about given up on their comment section.

Outstanding contractor!
December 13, 2019

Contractor recommendation!
We have recently moved to the Heber Valley and were in need of a contractor to make repairs identified during the home inspection, in addition to reworking one room and adding a free standing bathtub to the master bath. Utah Home Builders recommended Chris Lyman from Heartwood Architectural Finishes to do the work. Chris is amazing! Not only is he trustworthy and easy to work with, we felt he did a great job and his prices were reasonable. Work involved roof flashing, plumbing, electrical, framing, installation of new double glass doors, drywall and painting. He also loves doing finish work! When you call, feel free to tell him I referred you! *******529 *******@gmail.com

Bias and Unbalanced
August 25, 2018

KSL demands free speech yet they don't afford the public, whom they depend on to express their free speech. KSL reporting does not rely on fact nor are they balanced in their reporting. They reject comments based on political bias and censor what they don't want the public to know despite the truth or facts. Political sensationalism along with censorship and rampant bias seems to be the KSL way.

We live in Cache Valley and don't understand why st George and salt lake get a weather forcast but we get only a fleeting mention
KSL does ok with most everything else. But hey there is about 100,000 people up here. Is that not enough to be treated with some respect.
There are so many ways to get our weather and news and maybe it is time to look elsewhere. This is my third review about the same issue.and absolutely no response.

Terrible Comment Moderators
September 30, 2020

KSL.com wants to utilize freedom of press while their commemt moderators squelch the public on the comments section. 99% of the comments are actually KSL employees and if you've registered an account on their site with your real information, their comment moderators have access to your email address, phone number and physical address as well as your full name.

I would not recommend even creating an account on their website because trying to delete it is a nightmare.

Date of experience: September 30, 2020

Overview

KSL has a rating of 1.8 stars from 70 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with KSL most frequently mention comment moderators and news organization. KSL ranks 1044th among News sites.
