High Noon: When Prose Meets Ax

OrangeTV: I can understand the need to edit a bit for space, but its very frustrating to work on a piece for hours and hours only to find it randomly hacked to bits in final form. This last one barely made sense by the time they were done. It wasn’t even the “harsh stuff” that they chose to cut. Is that normal lately? They usually don’t do that. I’d prefer they allow me to create a shorter version myself …

Question: OTV is complaining re: the amount of stuff left out of his Sunday Handle Extra review re: the Flying J restaurant cuisine. You can read the two versions for yourself SR here and Get Out! North Idaho here . Have you ever written copy for any publication that got editted more than you thought necessary?
