In an article titled "Yanks thump Sox" and subtitled "Prime rate to remain stable, Bernanke says," Gene Weingarten writes at Washingtonpost.com:

But nowadays, things have changed. "Scoop" is gone. Young reporters are all named "P. Laurence Butterfield Jr." and they arrive at their first newspaper job fresh-faced and competent, straight from New Haven, Conn., with their high-faluting Princeton educations. They don't need copyeditors.

This is a true fact: I'm writing this column the very week after dozens of copy editors left my newspaper through an early retirement buyout, and I have noticed no difference at all whatsoever in the quality, accuracy or readability of the product.

Emphasis and minor editing of the quote are mine.  Sadly, ironic humor is lost on a large segment of the American population.

The piece is brilliant ironic comedy (a fact that, regretfully to me anyway, is given away in the last paragraph. 

Still, Well Done, Mr. Weingarten.

Everybody else, go and read it, and play Weingarten's game for a lazy summer afternoon's diversion.
