Patterico has caught the LA Times in some blog post sleight-of-hand shenangigans, regarding the John Edwards/Reille Hunter rumors, as posted by Andrew Malcolm:

So, to sum up: the L.A. Times is censoring outside comments on their censorship and deletion of their own blogger’s comments regarding censorship of Edwards's denial--a denial they later censored, then uncensored . . . but not completely.

Malcolm's original post was up, then down, then up but shorter, and then the comments section went wacko, and comments were deleted or rather, never posted.

Iron-handed editor or is that new software acting up again? It's news when they say it's news.
