I made comments on a website today positive comments about lawyers practices. All of the comments were negative and when I checked mine they are not displayed. How can you trust those sites and people are only getting one side of the story.

Whoever is paying for a site can largely dictate policies. I see this a lot in the dog world. The net is full of sites put up by kooks with an agenda or those selling something. Then somebody that doesn't know enough to recognize garbage will dig one of them up and post a link to it in their answer to a question. The myths of the 50's are alive and thriving on the net.

Whatever made you think you could trust them? A website is owned by some entity (including this one). Generally, such sites DO have an agenda and can exercise editorial control. We've seen many sites quoted here and when we look at them , they clearly are biased and one sided.

yes, for example, before I got banned over on Yahoo many of my answers since they were christian based were often deleted by someone because christian values and answers were considered offensive.

So those that control the site, control the power

What makes you think publications of the MSM or any major media organization like the networks operate any differently ?At least on the net they generally wear their bias on their sleeves.
