Faced with lower than expected advertising revenue, the Los Angeles Times said Monday that it had cut about 160 jobs at the newspaper.
About 60 of those positions were held by reporters and others in the editorial operations of the Tribune Co.-owned paper — two-thirds of whom took a voluntary buyout. The business operations at The Times, meanwhile, lost about 100 positions.

Somehow, I doubt you'll be too concerned about these particular job losses.

This is what happens when you only report the liberal side of the news, you lose half your customers.

They're so convinced the Bush economy is bad that they are willing to create their own unemployment.

It's similar to "what do you call one dead lawyer at the bottom of the ocean?"
A good start!

I would like to see massive layoffs at the Knight-Ridder owned Kansas City Star. Anyone with ideas about how to help that happen feel free to FReepmail me.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Guess there aren't enough brain-dead liberals left to keep circulation up...
To: churchillbuff
I am sure the LA Times would advise and encourage liberal politicians running short of money to simply raise taxes.
Why didn't the LA Times simply raise the price of their newspaper to cover the shortfall?
Or are they greedy hateful nazis just like the conservatives?
