1 : firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : incorruptibility

An example would be for a journalist or newspaper explaining why certain comments made that merely mention a certain individual's name are routinely deleted.

2 : an unimpaired condition : soundness

An example would be the bond that the local newspaper has with the subscribers and one way to ensure the soundness of this bond would be to explain why these posts are routinely deleted, not skirting the questions asked as if the paper were run by politicians.

3 : the quality or state of being complete or undivided : completeness

An example of this would be to allow reasonable questions to be asked without censoring the people that read this publication regularly.

My question, does a newspaper maintain its integrity even after their failure to answer even the most simple question such as, "Why were certain posts deleted?" I have noticed the silence and wondered whether or not the Editors have hoped that this topic simply goes away or people lose interest.

If a newspaper is willing to censor inane posts in the "Comments" section, what would stop them from reporting ONLY the news that they want to report on as opposed to being unbiased?

People are tired of biased reporting, from Fox, CNN, MSNBC, and all of the major networks, why should we put up with it from the local newspaper?

At this point I'm more concerned with the comment deletions than with the actual issue that they were regarding.
