German linguists might have to add a couple syllables to “schadenfreude” to capture the sentiments of those observing the NY Times/Boston Globe death match. People aren’t just revelling in the papers’ misfortune anymore. They can now simultaneously delight in the Times’ hypocrisy.

On today’s Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle blasted the NY Times as the “most hypocritical media company in the world” for what he sees as the Gray Lady’s bullying of the employees at its subsidiary, the Boston Globe.

No criticism of you, but there is a bit of redundancy in that statement...

Can’t both papers just hurry up and die?
I want everybody associated with the Democrat newsrooms to lose their jobs, their homes, and their families. For the damage they have done to America they deserve nothing less.
