Is the Los Angeles Times‘ Michael Hiltzik censoring Patterico (here, here)? Or just not allowing links in comments? Check back tomorrow for the answer!
Update, Tuesday Evening 4/18: Looks like it’s selective moderation!

Meanwhile, we had some comments by a person we strongly believe to be Hiltzik using the nom de comment Nofanofcablecos here. Nothing is more […]
Cathy Seipp readers — see additional information in Update 2 at the bottom of this post.
Patterico points us to Independent Sources nemisis Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times, who uses precisely two data points to prove to his satisfaction that Hugh Hewitt’s audience is declining — by 20% in two months, according to his […]
(click on post title, or here, for the rest)The headline is lifted from a thoroughly enjoyable post from Patterico as he skewers Michael Hiltzik’s take on a Costa Mesa program to check the status of illegal immigrants arrested for serious crimes. It is worthy reading.

(click on post title, or here, for the rest)I don’t know about you but here at Independent Sources central we like to watch TV. However by watching TV we mean watching a lot of DVDs rented from Netflix and then about a half-dozen channels (particularly HBO, History Channel, OLN, Fox News, CNN, Comedy Central and the Fox Network). That’s about it so when […]

Last November, LAT’s Michael Hiltzik took our coverage of him to task:
Insider, in fact, once compiled a list of 30 days of the Golden State column, grading each one as business or not-business and concluding that most were […]
Two weeks ago the Los Angeles Times‘ Michael Hiltzik trumpeted in his blog that the mediocre retail sales figures from Thanksgiving weekend proved that the economy was in trouble — and Hiltzik, for one, couldn’t be happier:
The ideological spinners on the state of the U.S. economy made much of the recent upward revision in third-quarter […]
The Los Angeles Times’ Michael Hiltzik takes offense when Hugh Hewitt uses “uncivil language” — the word “lie” — to describe one of his posts:
“Now, jumping my statement up to a “lie” is a pretty extreme reaction, and would certainly get Hugh an “F” from anyone favoring civil discourse in America. It barrels right through […]
On Thursday, the Los Angeles Times‘ Michael Hiltzik chortled over the lower-than-expected retail sales numbers on Thursday and posted in his Times blog:
The ideological spinners on the state of the U.S. economy made much of the recent upward revision in third-quarter GDP numbers and even more of retailers’ initially upbeat claims about “Black Thursday” crowds, […]
In a post titled “That Bright, Shining Economy Springs A Leak,” Los Angeles Times columnist / blogger Michael Hiltzik gleefully writes that “the ideological spinners on the state of the U.S. economy” who deny “honest, objective reporting that cited the tapped-out consumer, layoff announcements, and high energy prices” have been proven wrong by the November […]
(click on post title, or here, for the rest)In the Los Angeles Times’ new Golden State Blog, columnist Michael Hiltzik responds to our posts and a comment by Insider that his column does not belong in the Business section.
… two of today’s commenters (Brady Westwater of lacowboy.blogspot.com, commenting at the “Manifesto” post, and the anonymous “Insider” of independentsources.com, commenting at “On Anonymity”) cavil […]
In a rambling “business” column today, Michael Hiltzik unleashed his usual scorn for all things non-liberal. In his eagerness to bash the Bush administration over its response to hurricane Katrina, he drifted into … detention policy?
Leaving aside that these questions should have been answered long ago as part of our post-9/11 establishment of crackerjack emergency […]
“The 13 Pulitzers won under (John Carroll’s) leadership were part of the boilerplate of every article published about his retirement last week. Critics have been ridiculing this factoid, as though it conceals some darker truth, such as that the paper’s supposed liberalism has contributed to a circulation decline. Leaving aside the fact that this latter […]
(click on post title, or here, for the rest)Thursday was the day I expected another Michael Hiltzik diatribe against Arnold Schwarzenegger, or perhaps George Bush. His weekly pattern of late has been one business-related column and one these-guys-are-satan piece. But to my surprise, Thursday’s piece was a reasonable comparison of this fall’s “Live Within Our Means” proposition with recommendations made nine years ago […]

Following up on our story, “Non-Business as Usual in the LA Times ‘Business’ Section,” Independent Sources conducted a review of Michael Hiltzik’s columns published over the past 30 days in the Los Angeles Times Business section.Our analysis shows that over 50% of Hiltzik’s columns do not contain material sufficiently related to […]
The title of Los Angeles Times Business Section columnist Michael Hiltzik’s new book pretty much says it all: “The Plot Against Social Security : How the Bush Plan Is Endangering Our Financial Future.”
Hiltzik was plugging his book on Janeane Garofalo’s Air America on June 15th, the day before his ridiculously-titled column, “The Cost of Buffing […]
