That's precisely what they do. I wrote a computer column in the Jerusalem
Post for 3 years (until 1996), and several times it was edited to death,
with wrong facts put in by desk editors, despite the fact that I was a
full time member of staff (head system administrator at that time) and all
they had to was phone me up or call me over from the other side of the
news room.
BTW I wrote at least 3 columns on Linux in the Jerusalem Post at that
time, including a review of Yggdrasil P&P Linux in about 1994 or 95,
which must have been the first mention of Linux in the Israeli press.
