Positive reviews of the documentary "Hating Breitbart" apparently must not be tolerated at the Washington Post. Indeed, the Post's own film critic skewered the film, giving it a paltry one and a half stars.
So when readers started posting 4-star reviews and raving about the movie in the paper's comments section, it was too much for the editors to bear.
What to do, what to do....? What any self-respecting leftist organization would do: Scrub the comments.
Ah, the irony. If there are any are any lingering doubts about what drove Andrew Breitbart to spearhead a movement of citizen journalists and create a new media outlet, the Washington Post's censorship is a perfect illustration.

Update from Breitbart.com as of November 2nd: "The Washington Post has restored the erased readers reviews as of this afternoon ... for now."
