(Ted Soqui/Sipa USA/Newscom)

The Los Angeles Times reports that the office of Mayor Karen Bass has been editing Q&A sessions from news conference videos posted to her Facebook page. Specifically, they have been cutting out parts where reporters press her about her handling of wildfires earlier this year. The newspaper asked Bass' office why the videos are being edited. It got no response.
