Contemporary journalism …

… Bret Stephens has a new column on ‘Jews as bedbugs’ and it looks like he totally effed it up – twitchy.com.

“As you can see if you click on the bottom right photo, Stephens didn’t bother reading the footnote for his quote on the burning of Warsaw’s Jewish ghetto, ‘The bedbugs are on fire. The Germans are doing a great job.’ You see, at the time, there really was a bedbug epidemic in Warsaw and the author of the book from where Stephens got that quote said it should be taken literally.”

  1. Something can be both literal and symbolic at the same time.
