Did I miss something, or at no point did the article suggest their brain-dead lefty editorial policy might be just an itty-bitty problem??

Maybe they could nominate the layoff-ees as this year's "Persons of the Year" as a reflection of the horrible economy in the "news" industry.

It would be especially poignant and appropriate since the rest of the economy is booming.

The two new chiefs appear to be on the Board of Time already.

Nora McAniff
Executive Vice President, Women, Entertainment and Luxury Group

John Squires
Executive Vice President, Sports and Leisure Group

So, evidently Time will now focus on Women, Entertainment, Luxury, Sports, and Leisure.

Time Warner Inc.'s Time Inc. unit said it plans to lay off 105 employees

Those greedy big corporation liberals!

All they had to do was raise the price of their magazine and then it would have been more benefits and raises for all, but no, these greedy greedy liberals fire the workers!

At least they're cutting the dead wood from the top of the tree. I do it every Fall on my property. During Spring and Summer, I continue to trim the branches.

I take the same approach in running my business. If you're not growing yourself, and growing the business; you're going to get trimmed.

also named Nora McAniff and John Squires as co-chief operating officers. The newly created posts are designed to speed up the decision-making process and reduce costs

I love this. Are they kidding? The actual recipe for causing decision gridlock and increasing costs is to give two people the same job and authority.

Since journalists are among the brightest and best, I am sure they will quickly work as brain surgeons or rocket scientists.

Time and Newsweek are the "buggy whip" media.
