"Too big to edit" is a real problem in literary world: star writers start writing longer, more sprawling, ill-conceived & undisciplined works: King, Ellroy, Rowling. Now also a problem in journalism!

For sure. But I can also certainly imagine weighing the pros of having an editor against the cons of, like, this sort of thing https://twitter.com/DLind/status/1327327089113096199 … and having the cons outweigh the pros. Doesn't mean the editing is what's being rejected.

To be clear, what I'm saying isn't about Matt. But insofar as folks are trying to make an obstensibly-not-just-a-subtweet argument about the importance of editors, I feel like what's being put forward is the erroneous idea that "write about what you want" is how newsrooms work.
