sic semper tyrannis
I’m kind of shocked to learn they actually have editors. One certainly would never guess that given the quality of the writing.

S! p0wnz the Slimes.
If you find a copy of “Who Moved My Cheese?” on your desk you know you’re on the hit list.
Sounds like the movie “Office Space”
Hey - where is my stapler?
Still not sick of winning.
How many jobs will be set aside for women and minorities?
“Death Panels”
LOL!
To top it off Sarah Palin is suing the New York Times for libel.
Which will only worsen their ailments.
Love it!
This must be government work. fourteen people to tell 60 people “You’re fired.”
A couple people could get that done in a day or two.
I atchilly oneder if i could uz a copy editer
Take them out to a gourmet deli for lunch before they have to start eating Mexican like the high school graduates.
I actually think this is sad news.
I dislike the NYT’s liberal bias, but I am an admirer of good writing, and in the past the NYT represented the nation’s best writing...as William Safire, Jack Kilpatrick and S.I. Hayakawa stated so many times.
I read The Atlantic, The New Yorker and the NYT for the excellence of their non-political writing, and what we’re seeing is the downfall of one of the great papers of the West, just like the Oregonian, The SF Chronicle, the OC Register and smaller, regional papers like the Seattle PI, the Spokane Spokesman-Review and so many others.
I was raised on newspaper ink, my grandmother was an editor and I read greats like Herb Caen, Charlie McCabe, Stan Delaplane, Dave Barry, Pat McManus, LM Boyd, Jack Kilpatrick-The Writer’s Art, Tom Steenstra, Scott Ostler and even George Will when he wasn’t being a somnambulistic faux conservative.
I just love well-written, well-exposited writing and these background editors represented the best copy editing on the planet.
They should run a lottery for people who want to tell them they are fired and why.
Article doesn’t explain it, but the “buyout” reference seems to be over the employee attrition and not a buyout of the entire business. Too bad, as it’d be marvelous if Trump were to buy it from the Mexican and that dude in Omaha. It’s only market value is in its real estate, so why not?
Hell, I’d tell the sumbitches for free. Me! Pick me! Pick me!!
I see workplace violence in their future.
How do you get on one of these Death Panels.
