So Ben Smith lied, right? I'm surprised the Times piece doesn't highlight that fact.

> An internal review by BuzzFeed last week found three instances when editors deleted posts after advertisers or employees from the company’s business side complained about their content

> Mr. Smith later reinstated the two posts, saying he had overreacted when asking editors to delete them. He told staff members in a note that the posts had been erased after he took issue with their opinionated tone and not because of complaints from advertisers.
