Red Queen's Race: The Shark Jump

In regards to a staffer or staffers at the New York Times being caught editing multiple Wikipedia pages, allow me to recycle one of my favorite quotes from an author who writes for the Gray Lady’s chief competitor in the legacy media:

Sometimes in the course of a great American debate there comes a moment when the big battle guns fall silent, the pundits run out of breath, and — unexpectedly — the long, bitter argument suddenly turns into farce.

This is one such farcical moment. Or as Ace writes, “I see now why the NYT is so prone to comical errors. Those vaunted multiple layers of painstaking editorial oversight are apparently being employed to edit an online fake-encyclopedia“, in order to attack–in an incredibly childish fashion–any and all of the paper’s ideological opponents in a juvenile cyber temper-tantrum.
