Great Moments in Copy-Editing
Topic: Media Research Center

Apparently, neither the Washington Times nor the Media Research Center employ copy editors. A Feb. 26 Times op-ed by MRC director of communications Michael Chapman starts this way:

Celebrities sell -- that's largely why their celebrities.

Uh, "that's largely why their celebrities" what?

We'd go after Chapman's use of the archaic term "limousine liberals" and general by-the-numbers liberal-bashing, but the improper grammar -- in the very first sentence, mind you -- is pretty much all you need to know.
