Don't know about WP, but NYT has a "Readers' Picks" tab in its comments section, which was consistently very critical of NYT throughout the election cycle, especially their one-sided coverage of Clinton and Sanders campaigns. At times, it was quite surreal -- the tone and substance of most upvoted comments were in stark difference with the actual article.
