Agree, couldn’t happen to a more appropriate group of people. Karma is a -itch.

I’m enjoying their misery.

yeah, i guess my point was no matter HOW they found out, they’d still pizz whine and moan...

[caww]

Hey!... they got advanced notice so consider themselves fortunate. Furthermore everyone knows what the economy is like now and this is the time of year layoffs etc. happen. They just don't want it to be them. Every Business I've worked at when there's a buyout or closing coming there are mega indicators months ahead you need to look for other work.

Roughly half-a-million readers have canceled their Post subscriptions since last January, the Wall Street Journal reported. The paper does not project it will be profitable in 2022. In November, the Post disclosed that its Sunday magazine was folding, with the last issue to be published on Christmas Day. The magazine’s ten staff members were suddenly notified in a meeting that the company would be letting them go.

Seems to me that management are the ones who should be let go.

I saw a video on PBS about the Denver Post newspaper losing lots of subscribers. The workers there including those that ran the paper blamed everyone but themselves and their bad bias reporting of the news. It looks like the Post employees do not have a clue either.

There’s undoubtedly a Burger King with a ‘help wanted’ sign in the window w/n a short walking distance...

..employee complaints...

That sounds like hate speech to me—the Washington Post will have to censor it to save our democracy!

Bwahahahahahahaha.

“42 years ago”

They were lying to you back then—they just were not as blatant about it.

Many news media lies are lies of omission—it is the important stories they refuse to cover that show their bias and/or their Deep State connections:

But—the “good old days” included some really nasty stuff that still has received little publicity.

That included subliminal messages on television (both government and private).

Here is an example from the 1950s—the sign off subliminal messaging:
