It helps to have a lot of experience when reading The Quasi-Official New York Times. I bet it is the most edited goddamned paper in the whole history of papers. Their status as "newspaper of record," as consent manufacturers, means that what gets mentioned, where on the paper it gets mentioned (top right is most important), how it gets written is subject to review, discussion. rewrite, review, approval--at least that cycle--before it sees the gray light of day.
"If all of Flight 8501’s passengers have perished, that would mean the three deadliest aviation disasters of 2014 are all tied to Malaysia."
The way one should read that is:
No, we are going to say "tied," okay? We are going to say "tied" because we are going to tie ALL THREE of these things to Malaysia like tin cans to a dog's tail! Enough! This is three goddamned times in one year! And they don't know what the hell happened! Screw them! Let those tin cans rattle and bang as they run.
Ram Karun, 37, an engineer for a food processing plant who was also bound for India on a pilgrimage, said he could not believe what he was hearing in news reports about the three air disasters. He said he thought the government knew more than it was saying.
No, we're leaving that quote in there...It's not a quote, you're right. What did this guy fucking say to you, man? Why isn't that in quotes? SHUT UP! Is that the "gist" of what he said? Arright, fine! It's deadline time, we'll leave it without the fucking quotes. Listen, Jimmy Olsen, when you write So-and-so SAID, take it down exact, huh? We're leaving it like that because that is the only intelligent thing that's come out of Malaysia about this thing so far. That's what I think, what that Ram guy said is what I think, it's what everybody in this goddamn room thinks! Of course they know fucking more than they're saying. They better start talking and it better be good. Who was that idiot they trotted out during MH370? This guy makes more sense than that guy did. No, you leave that guy's statement in there just like that. Fucking Malaysia. Morons. Get a fucking QUOTE the next time, wouldja! Huh?
“Everyone knows something is happening, but we can’t figure it out,” he said. “We don’t know exactly what is happening.”
Oh. He got a quote! He got a quote! You won't be working for the Toledo Blade next week after all. Mazel tov. That's it, end it on that note. Fucking Malaysia.
