Washington Post eliminates sports department in sweeping cuts...1/3 of WP staff let go.

[DGS49]

Having been through many "massive" playoffs in my spotted career, I would say that the true test of this gambit will come when "we" see if there is any difference in the quality of the work product. Many organizations are stripped of what they previously deemed "critical" staff, and six months later, nobody knows what those people were doing, or why.

The Washington Post was the news outlet for the millions of government teat-suckers who live in the DC and NOVA areas...employees, "consultants," contractors, and other hangers on. They are overwhelmingly Leftist in their viewpoints, and saw the Post as an unbiased source of information and news. It wasn't.

Should anyone outside DC give a shit? I'm not sure why. Broadsheet newspapers are a dying business model.

WaPo got stung by the death of print media, just like everyone else.

But it remained one of the strongest news outlets in the country.

Until Bezos castrated it.

 

[yidnar]

Nope. Bezos. They lost 250,000 subscribers when he started interfering with editorial policy. As per usual, anything a right-wing loon touches turns to shit.

Bezos is a right wing loon ?

Maybe more people will see why letting a few billionaires own all media is not a good thing.

Dude all of the 'traditional' forms of media are failing.

Technology

Dude all of the 'traditional' forms of media are failing.

Technology

Unfortunately, the technological progress has resulted in exponentially intense gaslighting. Since the sources of info are literally digitally connected to their recipients, they know exactly what propaganda to bombard people with.

 

[Dr Grump]

Get back to me after His appeal about that.

He's dead

 

[Dr Grump]

Bezos is a right wing loon ?

Absolutely. You think he's not? Next thing you'll say is Musk sits to the left of Lenin...

 

[Dr Grump]

He was fascinating to listen to. Although a thug and felon, in another sense as stand up guy, that would not rat out others. That is a dichotomy between evil and good in one person, and his otherwise conservative opinions often mirrored my own. It was a good radio show.

I've never seen those 'rats' as bad people. Depending on who they're ratting on and why.

He was guilty as sin, but still could have cut a better deal, if he had played ball and testified against others, but he took the hit, himself. He was crooked and shitty, but a stand-up guy.

 

[MarathonMike]

Ah, the Grand Daddy of Democrat manufactured crisis, WAPO has been whopped by the long arm of Karmic Justice. It's always a good day when an anti-American Leftist institution gets clobbered.

White, your last line should go on a plaque.....

 

[Delldude]

Big rally but no big crowd.

 

[citygator]

The New York Times is the only unbiased and thorough news organization left in America. Shame.

 

[Hafar1014]

The boycott over Bezos polishing Trump's balls did real damage to them.

Money is the iuuse thepar is losing so much they cant afford the staff as subscribes leave.

 

[Delldude]

The New York Times is the only unbiased and thorough news organization left in America. Shame.

Left and lean left in news and opinion. Hardly unbiased.

 

[White 6]

White, your last line should go on a plaque.....

Probably. True, though, in my opinion. I figure, most criminals are shitty, all the way through and would sell out their own best friend or mother to get off or get lighter sentence. He kept his silence and didn't try to drag down others to lighten his sentencing. Among his many failings, being a "rat" was not one of them.

They lean towards truth.

For those now out of work WP staffers. They've been whoring for the state their entire careers, here is a story from their archives that suggests another avenue for employment.
