Exactly. There are lots of stories where I'm more interested in the comments than the article itself. Usually, the more mainstream the news source (TechCrunch, HuffPo, NYTimes, etc), the better the comments are relative to the article. Much of the time that value of the comments far exceeds the value of the article itself.
Or, to flip that concept around: the better the article, the worse the comments. The best "technical-focus" articles rarely have any comments at all. It's only when people post stupid shit that everyone feels the need to rebut, that we get a discussion.
