The Spanish-language media giant Univision Communications will lay off almost 6 percent of its workforce — between 200 and 250 people — after it slipped into the red last quarter, the company announced Wednesday.
The layoffs, along with a planned restructuring, “are in response to difficult times, challenging times,” Isaac Lee, Univision’s digital, entertainment and news chief, told The Washington Post in his first public comments on the moves. “We need to position ourselves for the future.”

.@PeterBeinart Good. Be terrified. If the "arc of history bends towards justice", Trump will do for media what Obama did for coal.

Why Donald Trump No Longer Needs the Media
“But what is doubly precious is the MSM’s ignorance is only outdone by their arrogance as think they’re still relevant or needed in today’s world. The truth is with the internet, YouTube, blogs, and social media, they’re obsolete. Just like authors today do not need east coast publishing houses, or artists of today don’t need record labels, President Trump, or any president in the future, does not need a “White House Press Corps.”

Dissecting the Trump Presidency
In a very detailed column, Milo Yiannopoulos outlines how various groups will be effected by Trump’s election victory:
- Protesters
- Hoaxers
- Establishment Republicans
- The Democrat Party
- Celebrities
- The Media
- The Deplorables
Further to the Democrats, what do you envision will happen to this party over the next 4 years? Do you think they’ll learn their lessons and course correct or do you think they’ll steer into the skid and move even further Left?

Noam Chomsky: ‘The Republican Party Has Become the Most Dangerous Organization in World History’
Any hope that Leftists would regain their sanity and be willing to discuss issues in a reasonable manner have quickly evaporated. The latest evidence comes from Noam Chomsky in a recent interview with EcoWatch:
On Nov. 8, the most powerful country in world history, which will set its stamp on what comes next, had an election. The outcome placed total control of the government–executive, Congress, the Supreme Court–in the hands of the Republican Party, which has become the most dangerous organization in world history.
The sad thing is, sheeple the world over will buy this hyperbole without question, further dividing the Left & Right. Stop for a moment to consider what Chomsky is actually saying. He is stating, unequivocally, that the Republican Party of the United States of America is more dangerous than: Hitler’s Nazis. Lenin’s Communists, Mao’s Communists, Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge, ISIS, Al Qaeda, and a host of other truly despicable totalitarian regimes. Yet Chomsky is considered to be a brilliant thinker among disciples of Leftism. So much so that the SJWs who control Wikipedia won’t even allow a criticism section in his profile.
