Strange commerce

Apparently 2016 is the Year of No Copy Editors. Although I suppose AOL in all its permutations can’t be considered the kind of media that cares about communications. Their primary focus is on getting clicks.

At any rate, here’s something from the landing page that I found…well, bizarre:


Which is what their headline writer should have used, because—even though I don’t give a toss about who this Krauthammer guy is, or what advice he might be giving the Kleptocrat—the advice was not, in fact, related to commerce.

Just more right-wing crackpottery.

As for the copy editors—wherever you are, I hope you’re enjoying your leisure. Some of us miss you sorely. Others, obviously, never knew you were around.
