Not everyone reads ARLnow comments. This account, unaffiliated with ARLnow, provides screenshots of the "best" comments while heralding the advertisers who make such content possible! Links to each comment appears in the alt text for each screenshot.
Throw back to the first ARLnow story from the "journalist" people are talking about this week. Enjoy the scary (R) talking point in the headline. This and subsequent stories are brought to you by the leadership that sought out and promotes this kind of orientation. Demand better.
We can all agree on these points. The referenced article (not even the comments this time) was brought to you in part by Ryan Quinn, personal injury lawyer. Does being butt hurt count as a personal injury? Call him up and find out!
Plain old (R) trash on the local (R) propaganda site: https://www.arlnow.com/2026/02/25/morning-notes-for-february-25-2026/#disqus_thread.
Scotty doesn't know, but it's clear the (R)s are off leash again posting garden variety misogynistic, xenophobic trash ARLNow-style. Ironically, this content was brought to you in part by Goodwill. I wonder if they limit their goodwill to white men like the local (R)s.
Good old fashioned VTFuze-style hate: http://disq.us/p/355mrjb. Brought to you in part by Horizon Business Brokers: https://www.horizonbrokers.com/business-valuation/.
The hills are alive, with the sounds of dog whistles. This content brought to you in part by Horizon Business Brokers. Maybe someone could call them up and see what a local news blog is worth both with and without racist, transphobic, xenophobic, misogynistic or homophobic customers, i.e., (R)s.
Everything old is new again.
I can't read their stuff anymore. The comments are always horrid and ARLnow apparently seems to now cater to them. I'm sure they don't care that they've lost readers.
Another satisfied reader.
When you know full well you host xenophobic, transphobic, racist, homophobic, misogynist trash but can't be bothered to do anything....

Supporting local right wing media enables the carnage playing out in MN. Disarming the propagandists of their power is well within your power. Act today to deny right wing media sites your clicks and to contact their advertisers to voice your displeasure with their support. You can cause change.
Garden variety trans-hate. Call up Blvd Haley and see if you can live next to a fine transphobic person: https://blvdhaley.com.
We hadn't checked in on the comments section for a while but are not surprised to find continued transphobia finding a home but are very pleased to see time card theft called out clearly. Call up Blvd Haley and thank them for funding a virtual home for those afflicted with transphobia.
But no both-sides-isms this time. Maybe we should ask, is our right-wing propagandists learning?
Comments on this one are going wild - maybe not surprisingly
Why did you allow comments on this story on the main? Then drop it on a Friday evening and walk away? Knowing what trolls would do. Stuff like this would and should scare away many local businesses. You guys claimed to be doing better and you kinda were. Were, being the operative word there.
ο»ΏSAD!
Right wing trash. Yawn. Call up JW Marriott and offer thanks for sponsoring a place for local (R)s, read that as Republican or racist at your pleasure: https://residencesrestonstation.com. This comment and many more can be found here: https://www.arlnow.com/2025/12/05/students-explore-the-lives-of-mother-and-son-once-enslaved-near-gunston-middle-school/#disqus_thread.
Another day, more trash from the old local right wing propaganda source. The quote below is relative to the stumbling stones that have been being placed around to commemorate Arlington history. Thank JW Marriott for sponsoring fine commentary. Maybe some of the commenters live there!
Might be time to resume watch. Thanks for the tip @veritybusly.bsky.social!
If you find yourself thinking of disemboweling someone, reach out to the fine folks at Livesay & Myers and get their opinion, given they sponsor content like this.
Unsurprisingly, the rot still exists on the local right wing blog. This gem is from a puff piece about poor, mistreated GOP "heavyweights." https://www.arlnow.com/2025/09/19/chalk-messages-at-arlington-home-of-top-white-house-official-strike-a-nerve-with-gop-heavyweights Call up the Kensington and thank them for support the local right wingers that are destroying our country! Somebody's gotta do it, it seems. Maybe they'll have a Circle Kirk in Charlie's honor. https://thekensingtonfallschurch.com/events/neighborhood-fall-festival/
Maybe the moderator got laid off or the AI is busted. In any case, enjoy this racist and xenophobic piece courtesy of The Kensington neighborhood fall festival (what, no trans hate?). Come on down and rake some leaves, have some cider, and burn some crosses.

"Don't mention integration" ArlNow story from 1958
Comment of the day from the swamps of the Arlington GOP's fan club.
Sowing the seeds of hate and spreading propaganda. Look elsewhere, always.
Line of aged right-wing "journalists" rejecting hateful comments from their peers.
Live shot of moderators processing with comments on today's Morning Notes featuring items on transgender rights in #ArlingtonVA Public Schools and Columbia Pike diversity.
Oh joy, a story about APS and transgender rights with the comments open. Ironically enough, this was brought to you in part by Goodwill.

This pro-gentrification message brought to you by Arlington County Fair: arlingtoncountyfair.us. Even if you've been priced out of the county, stop by and have a look-see.
Comment from the "Mounting costs of βstop fascismβ graffiti drive police to seek publicβs help" story: http://disq.us/p/33m03c0.
Even trolls on right-wing blogs agree - Trump is a fascist.
Wake up, Arlington. A different view, likely well more inline with most Arlingtonians, was declined. But go ahead and make sure they succeed. The country is doing swimmingly after all...
ArlNow, yβallβ¦
a) recycling copaganda and;
b) platforming a forever candidate who averaged 22% in 8 elections over the past decade, in order to;
c) pass off a Scott Mccaffrey op-ed as βnewsβ
ArlNow has a duty to its readers to report on reality. They fail often. Very often.
The ARLnow comments section is certainly less of a trans hate haven than it was but it almost has to be the case that those in charge still lean that way given how long it was allowed to fester, how hard they promoted the Richard Cox story, etc. The ArlGOP is 100% lost and cannot be fixed.
The NY Times claims "Democrats Lost Voters on Transgender Rights. Winning Them Back Won't Be Easy."
Seeing a headline like this in the NY Times makes one appreciate that ARLnow is no longer a daily source of trans hate. Keep it up!
A reply form a purported ICE employee relishing in the deportation of people with no criminal record. Find this here: http://disq.us/p/33d132s. Arrowine sure seems to agree with this crap: https://arrowine.com.
Sadly, you just can't keep the xenophobes down in this county. Fortunately for them, ARLnow is at the ready to publish their thoughts in perpetuity and they have many advertisers willing to fund it - like Arrowine. Hate migrants and like booze? Arrowine is for you!
