Returning to copy desk

This should be good.

It is. Saw bits of this yesterday and this is the whole thing at the Corner.

Returning to copy desk briefly. For this one thing. We are to understand Kevin Williamson at the Corner was once copy desk editor, I gather, and he becomes cross while reading the news about Israel and cannot take insinuated bias anymore for its poor journalistic character and deep bias that permeates their writing. It is an actual NYT article.  By returning to his copy desk personality he makes notations throughout the original piece under the alias ED. You can tell ED is angry because his words are darker than the original words.

A random sample near the end:

Palestinians frequently argue that rocks and crude incendiary devices are among their only weapons to press for independence, and to defend themselves against Israeli forces during confrontations. [ED: Was there a confrontation with Israeli forces under way? Or was there a confrontation with a 64-year-old Jewish man driving home from dinner under way?] For some young Palestinians in areas where there are frequent tensions, their use has become a rite of passage. [ED: So, the Palestinian bar mitzvah, you’re saying?]
