NY Post ^ | July 23, 2018 | Keith J. Kelly

The struggling Daily News is expected to begin another massive round of layoffs on Monday, The Post has learned.

The cuts at the teetering tabloid, which some insiders feared would range as high as 70 percent of staff, are expected to be among the largest in the paper’s 99-year history — and could include editor-in-chief Jim Rich, insiders said.

On Monday, Rich’s job description on his Twitter home page was changed from Daily News Editor-in-Chief to “Just a guy sitting at home watching journalism being choked into extinction.”

Rich also tweeted on Monday: “If you hate democracy and think local governments should operate unchecked and in the dark, then today is a good day for you.”

"watching journalism being choked into extinction.”

And whose fault was that?

If they simply reported unvarnished truth without pushing an agenda(other than on their editorial pages) then people would buy their stuff and they would be profitable.

One of my favorite moments in New York Daily News history was when Lars Erik-Nelson arced out over the 2000 Sore-Loserman election.

It's actually a pity, because otherwise, Lars would be getting laid off today...

At one time it was a pretty decent paper. When Mort Zuckerman bought it it went to hell. It turned into a real commie loving rag, loaded with fake news. Good riddance!

No, Kuntz Gershman doesn't work there any more - but he's crying about it on Twitter, if that's any consolation.    ROFL face ROFL face ROFL face

Last week NY Daily News has a front cover showing Trump shooting Uncle Sam while holding Putin’s hand. Sick stuff.

We need to drive as many outlets of the Ministry of Propaganda out of business as possible.

Apparently not a huge seller

In NYC many liberals don't read or speak English.

Real journalism was choked out of existence in the journalism schools.

Propaganda is what they do now.

“Just a guy sitting at home watching journalism being choked into extinction”

That is NOT journalism! I’m hoping that the entire staff has to go looking for work.
