Apart from all the other distortions in this piece, I don't think you understand what Susanna Rustin's job is: as a leader writer, she expresses the policy of the paper as a whole, and of the editor in particular. Have you ever actually worked on a newspaper? The idea that some one off freelance contributor like Gleeson can tell the British editorial staff that they "need to own up to their own mistake (ie disagreeing with her) and change course" is absolutely fucking ludicrous.
