The Post’s city hall reporter Jon Murray tweeted that an editor announced the news during a staff meeting. “There are some sobs in the room,” Murray added.

Yes, I'm sure there are a lot of SOBs in the room!

The Denver Post has been the Washington Post’s evil twin in Colorado. Good riddance to leftist trash. Hopefully one down, more to go.

I know. This is quite troubling.

Oh wait, no it isn’t. Love to hear about liberal media crashing.

It makes me smile.

I was in the newspaper biz for 25 years — city hall reporter, business editor, etc.

I worked with plenty of what I might call “old-fashioned liberals.” I may not have agreed with them on a lot, but they were at least semi-rational. They have all retired or passed on.

This current generation of Leftist shills disgrace my profession. Thank God I’m retired.

The local collection of ink-stained wretches saw their population reduced recently and the moans continue daily in the various columns. Many were pushed out the top as they were aging out anyway but they managed to backfill with more of the usual cut from the same liberal cloth. The local rag was bought a few years ago from the family that had run it as a fiefdom forever but they did see the writing on the wall and took Warren Buffet’s check (B-H Media Group).

Another arrogant liberal elitist newspaper going down. They always had a “we’re better than you” attitude. Perfect representation of Eastern elitist in a Western state.

Wish it had been 100% cuts.

No need to hire real reporters when you can use FAKE NEWS.

They are losing their jobs because instead of chasing down real news stories, today’s media is just a PR mouthpiece for the Bolsheviks. All you need is someone at a PC opening the marching orders from the Soros commissars; no reason to actually investigate/research/verify anything.

I don't know how many 'reporters' it takes to produce a newspaper.

The local rag seems to reprint the NYTimes.

“Oh wait, no it isn’t. Love to hear about liberal media crashing.”.....

“Crashing”? Doubtful, it appears more like “expanding”, as those 30% migrate out to other liberal newsrooms. The downsizing means the “plebs” are now ready for new horizons having been well trained.
