John Micklethwait, the top editor of Bloomberg News, blasted the rank and file for spotty performance over the past year as he unveiled cuts of approximately 90 people in the editorial and research departments.
...
We all know that we also ‘lost’ stories because we moved too slowly,” he continued. “Teams waited for somebody to back-read a piece or ignored the requests from the News Desk to get a blast out quickly. Managers spent too much time setting up conference calls when they should just have been writing. Or teams suddenly delivered enterprise pieces that nobody wanted.
“Covid has highlighted these strengths and weaknesses. But in truth they have been evident for some time.”
Most of the cuts are in the editorial ranks which he is attempting to engineer to move stories more quickly.
...
A spokeswoman declined to comment when asked if any particular stories triggered the outburst for the company owned by former Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

Better to be wrong and first, then correct and last...
Then = than.
See, I need an editor.
They will need to start another war or something to keep relevant.
Guess who it’s against?
What, the other outlets got their made-up lies about Trump out right away while Bloomberg’s editors were still fact-checking like it is 1957? Don’t they know the information war demands speed, and accuracy is virtually irrelevant? /s
“Most of the cuts are in the editorial ranks which he is attempting to engineer to move stories more quickly.”
This is going to go well.
I hope they have a big budget to cover the libel claims.
Axe Mike Bloomberg.
Thuffering Thuccotash!
“Moved too slowly!” HAH! They actually may being doing their job rather than publishing lies and innuendos!
Gee, No Longer Useful Idiots, who woulda thunk it?
John Micklethwait has been in his position for six years. Perhaps it is a leadership issue.
You're right about that! If you have to fire 90 people and it's not because you're broke, you hired wrong--90 times in a row--or you couldn't teach a horse to crap.
WOW just wow
Could it be our cutting the cord is having an effect?
>> Then = than.
>> See, I need an editor.
Nothing wrong with the progression from bad then to worse... lol
They can all become farmers now. It’s easy, just put a seed in the ground.
I have a supply of typewriter seeds. Cheap. Never used.
As I understand his reasoning, a large chunk of his staff did not get the news stories out fast enough because they were taking the time to check and verify the accuracy of each story.
What am I missing here? It sounds like this blithering idiot wants to emulate the Wash Post and NY Slimes and lower Bloomberg News all the way down to their levels.
Looks like Bloomberg didn’t get the expected ROI on his 2020 investments.
Publish any and all lies QUICKLY... Slow-walk the truth...
Propaganda organizations like the msm have to stick to their purpose of chaos and balkanization...
There is no political or financial fallout for lies anymore...
The serfs will believe anything that is repeated often enough, even when there are admissions of falsehoods later...
The American serfs do not care one bit about anything except those promised $2000 checks...
