For sure - thats the reason why newspapers were moderated, 
lectored and even censored. E.g. there were always discussions if 
a particular reader post should be printed or not.
The people doing this called themself "editors".

But even so, the tone of newspapers was often more harsh than 
what one would say face to face.
