So textfield once noted that the Russian version of the Delfi portal, which everyone here reads, reeks of tabloid journalism and the incitement of national discord, along with endless pointless cursing about the government. Basically, that's exactly how it is. Moreover, if you look into the comments, you get even more amazed and horrified – it feels like the visitors just pour all their anger and hatred out there. Any news, even the most innocent or positive one, is a reason to shit on the government or businessmen, or whoever else, and also to announce what a bad country Latvia is and how everything here was bad, is bad, and will be bad.
Basically, it's long been noticed on the internet that a person who constantly and unconstructively bashes the country they live or lived in can't bring anything good, and it's better not to interact with such people. After all, there's always the universal principle: "If you don't like it – get the fuck out of here." Works on websites, too, by the way. And badmouthing the country you left is only possible for the sake of weird self-reassurance and nursing your own complexes.
In any case, it turns into a vicious circle – Delfi incites discord and hatred, the visitors feed on it and incite it even more, in turn demanding more and more mudslinging at anyone and everyone.
While I was writing this post, an article “On the question of commenters' verbal diarrhea" appeared on Delfi right on topic. They write funnier stuff on LiveJournal, but it's not bad there either.
