Presented largely without comment:
Exhibit A: A poorly timed Detroit News column dated Dec. 29, 2015 titled "Emergency management law working for cities," with the Detroit News editorial board's byline.

Snyder recently requested to be declared a federal emergency — under the byline of deputy editorial page editor Ingrid Jacques.
We feel dizzy.
