"About 60 of those positions were held by reporters and others in the editorial operations"

Who needs them when it's easier to just make shite up???

Let's have a party.

My 23 year old son and I were talking about the commie media last night. My boy is to the right of his old man, which is saying something.

His observation was that Clinton and Gore are the ones who let the internet genie out of the bottle, and now it's destroying the liberals' iron monopoly on information. Once people are allowed two choices and one of them is logical, it's all over for the libs. We are winning, folks.

I'm actually shedding tears over this news. Tears of laughter.

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

That's what passes for liberal "economic theory." Naturally they probably want the taxpayers to make up their profit shortfall. Think of a World Without the L.A. Times.

T.V. was the death blow, they've been running on car ads since; soon, legal notices will be their only source of income.

Once I figured out it was a shad, not a trout, it was easy.

And the rejoicing of more job losses continues. Guess there are idiots who believe that an employee of the LA Times must in fact be a liberal.

If employees of the Wall Street Journal get fired, these same idiots will believe the fired were conservatives and be saddened.

The LA Times will have an editorial tomorrow blaming Bush.

Aw, that is too bad. I guess the Arnold S. & George W. bashing decisions in the editorial board hurt the bottom line.

I wonder if any of the jackals in that room are taking a pay cut. Probably not.

I don't believe the cheering is for the lost jobs, I believe the lost advetising revenue hence readership is the reason for rejoicing. Hopefully, if there is a more conservative leaning paper in lala land, they will pick up the slack.

Sure, it'll translate into jobs, but the same will happen at the NY Times. But the NY Post will be picking up the slack since their ad revenue and circulation is increasing.

"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."

Gee, what do you think happens when you print what the AP, Reuters and Al Jazera writes word for word? No need for all those high priced propagandists, errr journalists.

I've got the answer, LA Times! I've got it! Listen to me, I have the solution! Are you ready?

Go even further left! Go all the way! Let it all hang out! You'll see your circulation go through the roof!

You're welcome.
