| The study of Chinese news comment is wondering around practice and history. Though there are essays focusing on politics and power, the study on thought is still lack. Coexistence is more important than common view because the opinion expressing by comment is multiple, the function is turning from opinion-leading to opinion-expressing and different subject has different interest. Although science, democracy, independence and tolerance are the main content of news comment, tolerance is more important because it is fundamental to good operation to news comment and integration of society.The tolerance of news comment is a kind of virtue which refers to the state in opinion-expressing that although we can find the unreasonable aspects of others' opinion and behavior, we don't limit them by external power, and what we do is to analyze the reasonable and unreasonable aspects. The limit of it is not to harm speech freedom and comment tolerance. The fundamental feature of news comment tolerance is complex subjects and objects, capable of identifying, emphasizing expressing and not appealing to external power. The premise of news comment tolerance is to depart man, comment right and opinion. As to recognize comment tolerance limit, we should focus on the process and stage of news comment expressing.From the content of communication, it includes two parts, one is information and the other is correlation. Thus we can classify the news comment into opinion-expressing and correlation strengthening comment.In fact, the tolerance of news comment is to study news comment from correlation which closely related to information. Thus to understand tolerance of news comment, we should focus on the type of opinion-expressing. As a kind of opinion expressing, news comment is a process of judgment which includes value judgment and fact judgment. The essence of these judgments is order including value order and fact order. But the fact order is originated from value, so the judgment of news comment is value order judgment which is a kind of process of power pursuing whether from point of just or from reason. In a word, without tolerance, there will certainly appear conflicts during opinion expressing. Thus tolerance is at the bottom of news comment without which there is no use expressing opinion.Correlation-strengthening news comment is another type which show a kind of governed social relation, but as people usually read it from a point of information, so the news comment is read by people from the other side which interrupt the effect of communication. To change this state and establish a new communicator-audience correlation, we should advocate tolerance, distinguish social relation and know that the function of news comment is to spread tolerance.Whether opinion-expressing or correlation-strengthening, the critical aspect of news comment is social thought. In the early days, news comment pursuit independence, but nowadays we pursuit tolerance because there are too many social thought which mainly includes the main stream ideology, liberalism, neo-leftism and Populism. In news comment, their tolerance is different. As a popular way of expressing, news comment should exhibit all kinds of social thought on the one side and on the other side we should know the function of tolerance. And more important, we should pay attention the relation among tolerance, liberty, democracy and science.As the situation of Chinese news comment, we should notice the following when cultivating news comment tolerance. First, to alter the way of reasoning from value-dependence to route-dependence; secondly, refusing speech violence and reasoning by external power; thirdly, to carry out media criticism which make media have a clear mind; fourthly, recognizing the power feature of news comment and restraint the desire of power pursuing; fifthly, knowing all kinds of social thought and making theory premise criticizing; finally, introducing ritual theory and form the right view to recognize the idea modeling of news comment.
