Don't know nuthin bout Breitbart's Comments section.

But have you considered the possibility that online SJW's are spamming their site with the worst racist / violent / misogynist comments imaginable, in order to direct the attention of Breitbart's server hosting company to these "typical Breitbart comments" and demand that they be de-platformed?

If that's true, then Breitbart would be wise to suspend ALL comments from being posted until moderators can review each & every one to weed out the incendiary ones. In which case, don't hold your breath to see your comments posted any time soon. Unlike FB & Twitter, they likely can't afford to use extremely expensive & sophisticated custom-tailored robots that pick up the lion's share of the comments they don't want to see, and instead rely on a limited number of humans to laboriously plow thru each one.

It shouldn’t take almost 5 hours to approve the two lousy comments I made. It’s likely they won’t ever show up on the site.

I just went back to my Disquis profile which shows all the comments I've made on sites that host Disquis, and those three Breitbart comments I posted in this thread previously, are all still pending. Two have been pending for 16 hours, and the third one for 12 hours. I just posted this on another Breitbart article page:

"Having a little problem Breitbart, with moderating simple two sentence comments that contain no threats of violence, no racial slurs, no profanity, and aren't in violation of any site standards? Two of my comments from 16 hours ago on another online article, and another one from 12 hours ago, are all still pending. Have I been mysteriously transported to China?"

No other site that uses Disquis is holding comments as pending. Breitbart is doing it to everyone, even those who post a simple two word comment.
