  1. “The move is part of what is expected to be a dispiriting end-of-year period in the news industry, which is beset by business woes that go back years. The end of a busy presidential-election cycle was also expected to accelerate reorganization plans.”

    pretty much sums it up.

  2. Imagine Jen Psaki looking into the camera knowing that NOBODY is watching? Yeah, it takes a special kind of cognitive dissonance to do that day after day. Oh well, I assume she has direct deposit of her paycheck … until she won’t. Soon, I hope.

    1. “Imagine Jen Psaki looking into the camera knowing that NOBODY is watching?” Report to the CBC for training — they’re past masters.

    2. ah jeeze kenji lemme tell ya funny story abt direct deposit.
      tomorrow Monday lm going to the federal bldg and get mine switched to a credit union from the wholey owned Cdn CIBC subsidiary aka ‘Simplii’.
      when i do that, the next one after next week will not go to Simplii.
      what Simplii will have is an accumulation of auto withrwals gone nsf.
      some of them are usurious lenders who didnt know my real plan was to keep making loan payments until l cdnt borrow any more.
      l wound up borrowing double via credit card accts and ‘last resort’ sources.
      the trick? my CIBC VISA (ie NOT Mastercard) cr acct is fine and dandy.
      so now, thye will all just have to wait.
      l can sit on this for the nxt 6 months if that how long it takes to sell this place.

      p.s. tq pm TURDeau for pushing prices way up giving me the ‘entry level’ property vendor advantage RIGHT WHEN IM READY TO LET GO.

      etc etc

  3. Good to see the Associated Press shrinking. For some reason the conservative media has given the AP a free pass. Yet reading the agency’s copy during the election was like reading the old Pravda. Unfortunately AP has a near monopoly on selling what it calls “news” to others.

    1. The late, great El Rushbo would occasionally point out that there was no alternative to the wire services which are filled with opinion pieces masquerading as news.

  5. Didn’t AP employ “locals” years ago in Lebanon and other places that were staging pictures? Embeds with prior knowledge of attacks? Looks like Israel is doing AP’s personnel cuts for them at the moment.

  6. ” “the bulk of its business comes from selling its journalism to other news organizations”.” That implies that AP is a “news organization” to begin with as opposed to being a propaganda outlet.

  8. Ha ha. Covered another square on my doomsday bingo card, the self-destruction of the bolshevik media.
