That means the ax could fall on as many as 30 editorial people in the company's first-ever mass firing of journalists in its 156-year history.

But however will these brilliant people support themselves? I hope they are not going to be expected to get actual jobs and work for a living, the way we humble non-journalists do? And what will we commoners do if we don’t have the New York Times to tell us what to think?< /s>

Well, They have been screaming about the horrible Bush economy and all the doom and gloom for the past 7 years, Now they have first hand experience on which to write about.
Good for them!!!

The "man" responsible for it all: The Publisher of the NY Slimes herself, Pinch Sulzberger.
Looks like treason and your destruction of the Times' credibility do not constitute a great business plan there, Pinch.
Oh, and looks like you didn't score at the bars last night, either. Bummer.

Journalists? The Times doesn’t have more than a couple. DNC staffers posing as journalists - yeah, they are probably in trouble. ;)

Reminds me of an All In The Family Episode where Archie and George Jefferson are having a heated discussion:
George Jefferson: “See Bunker?; That’s the problem with You people, You people...”
Archie Bunker: “Hold on there a minute, Jefferson. Who are you calling “You People”. We people aren’t “You People”, YOU people are “You People”!
