KSL has a long history of censorship. Years ago when they were a CBS affiliate, they censored a show called picket fences over an episode that was critical of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As an NBC affiliate, they have continued their tradition of censorship such as originally decided against airing Saturday Night Live because they felt it was too risque for Utah's audience who were used to watching SNL on KUTV when they were an NBC affiliate. I personally wish I could have a different NBC affiliate knowing someday one of my favorite TV shows on NBC could be censored by KSL. The tradition of censorship continues with their comment board. You could post a comment that violates no KSL terms of service rules and it will be rejected. Interestingly, you may see similar comments to yours that did get published so you know your comment wasn't in violation of KSL's terms of service since these other comments were allowed. Sometimes they seem to reject every comment you submit even if they violate no rules and aren't considered offensive to any groups. With KSL's active censorship, how can I trust them to accurately report the news? How do I know they have censored opposing viewpoints and interviews for their news stories? I don't understand how they can be trusted with reporting the news with their bias against opposing viewpoints and even actively censoring opposing viewpoints.

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.

I tried to create an account to post comments and they send an email requesting verification but when I click on the link in the email, I get the message that my verification has expired (2 minutes after attempting to create account) when the email says the verification lasts 2 days. So either I'm being blacklisted even though I've never held a KSL account or their site simply doesn't work. I was hoping that I could participate in KSL's classifieds and comments but since my email address doesn't work, I'm simply unable to participate in KSL.

They censored the word "arse" while I was commenting on a story about censorship. Well done Mormon publishing. Defend neo-nazis with every drop of ink and censor my gay arse.

I respected KSL since they were the only news organization in Utah that doesn't use autoplaying videos or endless scrollbars. Now that KSL has been doing autoplaying videos more often, I no longer wish to visit their site. They are just as bad as the garbage KUTV and Fox13 sites. In addition, they have started censoring all my comments and I've even had 5 of my comments reported as abuse. I assume KSL doesn't follow up on claims a comment is abusive as none of my comments are abusive and all of them followed KSL terms of use. Despite this, only 25 of the last 65 comments have been approved by KsL moderators. Meanwhile several comments that are overly political and abusive to opposing views are openly accepted by KSL. In addition, KSL has had a habit of censoring TV shows they feel don't meet their community standards. I asked to unsubscribe to all their newslists since I'm getting multiple emails per day and cannot even participate in comments. Hopefully they respect my wishes to no longer receive any emails from them. If I cannot participate in their comments and they are going to add autoplaying videos to their site, I find the newsletters worthless.

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.

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 has had a long history of censorship. Such as when they were a CBS affiliate years ago, they censored a show called picket fences because there was an episode that was critical of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As an NBC affiliate, they have also openly censored shows that they feel doesn't conform to their moral standards such as Saturday Night Live which they feel was too risque but changed their mind shortly after. Eventually they could again decide Saturday Night Life is too risque and stop airing it. I wish that I can have another NBC affiliate instead of KSL as I don't like the possibility that a show I enjoy will no longer be aired by KSL.
Their spirit of censorship lives on in their comment boards. Their moderators will actively censor offending viewpoints and once you are censored one time, they will probably censor every other comment you try to post on KSL. How can you trust a news organization when they actively censor comments and TV shows that don't fit their agenda? How do we know they are accurately reporting both sides of the story and giving both sides an ample chance to report their side of the story? How do we know KSL hasn't decided to censor certain sides when reporting news? I don't trust KSL as a source for news and as mentioned, wish I could choose another NBC station as my local NBC affiliate.

! Buyer Beware!

KSL Allows people to sell compost that comes from the dump and the sewer it is contaminated; they claim it is healthy and KSL supports them by taking their money and posting their ads¡! Buyer Beware!

To our knowledge only one company provides actual organic compost that is safe for gardening that is:
A Worm's Tale®.

KSL is owned by the Mormon church, the editors and moderators are all members of the church, they are the predominant news organization in the whole of Utah, southern Idaho, western Wyoming and eastern Nevada. They control the news around here, they control the narrative and drive peoples thoughts a certain way, that is which ever way the powers of the mormon cult want them to project. The comment board moderators are of the same ilk and will allow horrible talk all day long against those the mormons see as others, but if someone talks out about the church they will hide the comment, if someone writes a well articulated factual response to an article or comment it will be deleted if it doesn't follow the KSL community standards which are applied at random, and only to those who speak out in a way that KSL doesn't support. They are snarky in that posting on their site is a privilege and they treat commenters like garbage if they turn against the cult. Case in point I have 1 main account and 5 shadow accounts, they rotate through which one is being automatically banned from posting comments weekly. One of my accounts has not had a comment published in 3 years because the account is considered derisive for posting pro LGBTQA comments.

I tried to make a comment today about Mayor Pete and our governor being together to work on things and and that it was nice to see them together not just taking shots at one another and they refused to post it. KSL IS PROGANADA FOR CONSERVATIVES

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.

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.

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

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.

KSL stands for KEEP SLAVERY LEGAL. An employee of 21 years was fired November 2021 because he declined to participate in their slavery practices via their Updated Covid 19 Guidelines Policy that were outlawed under the 13th amendment.

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.
