Thanks, Albion. I was just about to post something similar.
People who don’t understand grammar and logic mistakes and vast stores of general knowledge don’t understand copyeditors. They think we don’t really do anything worthwhile.
And everyone thinks they can do it as well as we do, because they just Have No Idea.
We keep their embarrassment level down. Let them show people how important we are by firing all the copyeditors. Their underwear will soon be showing.
Looks like today's NY Times crossword.
Screw you, New York Crimes! Make your reporters recruit and train their own replacements, most likely at a much cheaper rate and possibly even offshore!
Then you can talk about the “Humiliating Process” of layoffs, like a lot of Americans dealt with under your demi-god, Obammy.
That is not a very hard puzzle-——I’m surprised.

An editorial IS an op-ed.

They are all part of those who assist that LIB rag to survive.
Yep - and free ‘interns’ from the world who will work for status... slavery lite.
The Ribbon of Participation wasn't good enough to commend the experience?

“Op-ed” refers to its position in the paper: opposite the editorial page. It doesn’t refer to an opposing viewpoint.
See why you need copyeditors?
Typo. Exhilarating process. Exhilarating!
He knows exactly what's going on in the inside workings of that venerable newspaper.
And.....he will be proven right again!
In the above article, the Old Gay Lady is putting out all kinds of BS imagineable to hide the fact that the rag is on a slippery slope....and personnel is being hit hard and without mercy. It's called "whistling in the dark".

It's already on urbandictionary.com, it just doesn't have a specific meaning -- yet.
Lol, thanks.
Please stop giving them money.

And they are on decent paper instead of lousy newsprint.”
Yes, decent paper, too! No copyright infringement, since it’s only copy for personal use. No newspaper owner says one can’t put a page in a photocopy machine and make a copy for personal or limited educational purposes. Maybe the Times can reinvent itself for the one part of the paper that a wider spectrum of people liked and still do. The New York Times Crossword Puzzle, brought to you by The Gray Lady.

See, the thing is that the NYT has advocates policies that slow down the economy, increases costs for companies and hamstrings companies that make layoffs more likely so this is deliciously ironic that they are whining when it happens to them.
What does the Times need copy editors for, when the “news” articles consist mostly of idle chit-chat, and the op-eds of incoherent ravings? How would you “edit” that? Waste of money.
I work in NYC. My company is not in the news business. But in politics my coworkers are all leftists.
NYT might consider moving out of the fiction section of writing and into the non fiction writing area
Welcome to the world of job obsolescence, where software occupations have gone for the past 15-20 years.
As for these New York Slimers, they can put their desk stuff in a cardboard box and get marched by HR out the door like the rest of us who don’t have J-school degrees.
If they want something close to ironclad job security, they should go into the useless HR field, where it used to be all about issuing paychecks but now it’s “sensitivity” towards mentally ill degenerates to keep equally useless lawyers off of the corporate posteriors.
