Staffers and former staffers say it was like being hit by a “shock and awe” mission.

reporters hunting down senior editors to yell at them, others finding a corner in which to go and cry.

ROFLMAO!

This is what happens when liberal feelings collide with the realities of economics.

Sucks to find out what happens when your ‘product’ is no longer demanded in the customer experience.

To bad they can’t get rid of Cynthia Tucker, who I am sure is a major reason their paper is on the rocks...

Funny stuff!!! Maybe now they will have to find jobs that are actually productive to society. A liberal crying is always a great read!!

The two writers currently on the music beat, Sonia Murray and Nick Marino, will apparently compete for that one job.

Take Sonia and give the points.

I had a chance to work with a marketing and advertising manager of a major auto dealership this past week. She said they are relying less and less on print advertising and turning more to the Internet.

The implications of this trend are just devastating to newspapers. Auto advertising alone makes up a substantial chunk of news print revenues.

They have been telemarketing and sending young people to our rural, predominantly republican/conservative community, trying to sell subscriptions; I politely told the last door-to-door salesperson;
“I wouldn’t buy that liberal rag for anything.”
Know what he said?
“I hear that alot”

Staffers and former staffers say it was like being hit by a “shock and awe” mission. One person e-mailed: “I had a friend that gathered a bunch of ppl and they all drank in her apartment, versus going to [a] 6pm meeting to “explain” the changes. No one that I know felt like feeling the sting further - they wanted to drink it off. “

One would think that if they were going to fire a bunch of people, the first thing that one would do isn’t go and get drunk and not show up for a meeting.

Liberals, how dumb, you go to the meeting and THEN go out and have that drink, the meeting is “on the clock” and you get paid for going.

Liberals are such children...LOL

Several times a year I drive or fly through Atlanta and purchase a copy of this rag.
It is a biased liberal piece not worthy of wiping the particulate off my behind.
Perhaps if they were support the majority of America and Americans instead of their little narrow points of view, pro homosexual pro black and against our troops anywhere they may be doing better.
As it is I hope they fold and as for the employees? Get a real job.

It’s great!

That paper has become a small town liberal rag anyway. They have gotten so focused on just what happens in Atlanta they are incapable of reporting anything on a national basis.

When the three Duke boys were declared innocent the paper put the story on the third page and had local headlines about area entertainment events.

As a paper they are a joke.
