“Hours after The New York Times Co. suffered the embarrassment of a third person scaling its Eighth Avenue headquarters in recent weeks, the company got pounded by Wall Street…“
“LA Times Publisher David Hiller resigns after 21 months at helm…”
“Lipinski has been in the top post at Tribune Co.’s flagship paper for seven years. Her departure comes a week after the 161-year-old newspaper told its staff it would eliminate about 80 newsroom jobs.”
Responsible, professional journalists should be screaming bloody murder to their editors… the ones that dragged them all over the cliff.
This is a time for the responsible, professional journalists to undertake a rebellion. They might as well…
Lest they drink the kool-aid, I would suggest that those reporters doubting that these problems are self-inflicted through editorial choices, they should review the comments posted on The Star’s article about Khadr.
They are trying to sell us an editorial product we are not wanting to buy.
The reason the Internet is digging a six foot deep hole for the dead-tree industry is not because it’s a better platform for the news – not portable, not work-friendly – it’s because their spin is being debunked in real time, and people want truth. In fact, people get downright angry when they find that someone is trying to manipulate them.
Rebel, and rebel now, reporters and journalists, or watch your jobs vanish – which will happen all the more quickly in the economic downturn your editors have tried nurture so carefully for the Democrats in November.
Dead on Shaken, these sanctimonious reporters and news anchors have lied for years, how else do you explain Turdeau getting in over and over. Just take a quick at the we hate Harper all the time National Newswatch, or the other pathetic leftie rags that we lose perfectly good trees to daily. Remember a good looking news anchor Michelle Hogan in Calgary who couldn’t in good concience read the crap these liars put in front of her every night so she said so and quit, I always admired her for that, if only more of these 1500 dollar a month “journalists” had the decency to do the same we wouldn’t be wasting untold billions on the Kadrs,the Cadmans, Julies hooters, global warming, climate change girlfriends on laptops, Brenda Martin, on and on, the Robert Fifes and Kneel Mcdonalds need to be in their rightful positions, checking for hemmeroids on Jim Travers and the rest of these losers.
More media dinosauria news, Paramount Pictures has lost its funding deal with Deutche Bank. The Phantom laughs at their discomfort. They worked for it, they deserve it.

In even more dinosaur news: “The New York Post, Wall Street Journal and Daily News are in talks to combine some business operations [such as printing!!!] including delivery services, a spokesman for the participants said Tuesday.”

Once you force people to look for alternatives and they do – it’s over forever. I’d never go back to a restaurant that gave either bad service or sub-standard food … why would I? there are lots of places to eat.
it’s a fact – liberalism is bad for business
and the members of the media who promote a destructive ideology are only putting themselves out of business
These “progressive” papers are on a slow boat to hell, if they do not change. They won’t though, there in a dream world of fantasy & want to stay there. None of them can abide the reality of the world anymore , not realizing people are fed up with lies, spun out of an ideology that kills millions still. That they as journalists push at every opportunity without thinking the jig is up. Folks now react with the knowledge of the web when there being conned. Its become a reflex almost these day’s with the infestation of hucksters as seers of our time. Trying to convert us all to there mad agendas. Yet people in this business are blind to it. As well Religion with the Islamist threat. Most folks when confronted on how legal fare has been so successful they are horrified. These personages hide the facts trying to pretend normalcy out of fear, or that the world they thought they knew is crumbling with them the instigators of no small part of its degeneration.
Is this a leading indicator for that economic downturn, all the lefty media are taking massive hits so at some point the rest of the left wing economy might go. Are lefty activists next the horror.
*Snort*…the third person to scale their new digs did so under the nose of a virtual army of private security guards who surround the entire structure every day…
I pass this den of moral deficiency every blasted day. Only once have I had the “good” fortune to bump into someone I recognized. That upstanding individual was none other than loopy Paul Krugman.
The conversation (I admit…one-sided) went like this.
(I stood in front of him…and looked around in an exaggerated fashion, clearly concerned…He, in turn looked around as well in response)
Me: Where is he?
Krugman: Who?
Me: The guy that helps you carry our meds?
(I smiled, he turned away and moved on)
Five in a row now up on Drudge, there certainly does seem to be a pattern.
