William M. (Malarky) Arkin is revealed as the WaPo’s "anti-military" blogger, in this WaPo ombudsman piece, in which it is nevertheless "explained" that his work is separate from the print newspaper.
"Arkin’s column did not meet Post standards, but then, newspaper editing isn’t perfect, either. But ‘mercenary’ surely is live ammo; such an incendiary word should have popped out in flames to Post editors."
Nevertheless, he apparently was "edited," just not to the fullest extent, and he insists that he works for the newspaper. So which is it? And does it matter? An "anti-military blogger" with MSM backing. Charming. Just what America needs. But it’s good, I suppose, to have the objectivity mask off. Or, as LGF puts it:
"See, if Arkin’s hate screed had been edited, no one would have known that the Post’s ‘military analyst’ was a hard left anti-military moonbat. The editor would have come in and sanitized it, and no one would have been the wiser."
