The title of this piece in confounding, to use an understatement. Talk about burying the lead. It's as if they don't want people to read it. It's not a literary or rhetorical exercise; it's an expose of the fucking President doing illegal business with one of our biggest adversaries. I read it at lunch today, and my lunch break turned a lot longer than I originally had anticipated.
My Copy-editor pedantry is coming out. I apologize in advance. The phrase is, "Burying the lede." Yes, "lead" is grammatically correct, but lede, graf, slug, byline, and other words have a specific meaning in the editing world. And we'd like to keep them, please!
