[ McClatchy files bankruptcy to shed costs of print legacy and speed shift to digital ]

Another Leftist dinosaur rag operator.

I cheered when I saw this earlier today.

It seems to me that any news organization filing for bankruptcy
is choosing to do so as an alternative to changing their
business model to one that reports truth.

Their lies don’t sell, but Truth isn’t even their last resort?

No! Bankruptcy before honesty!

;-)

They also get to screw the pensions of those who spent a career there.

The Chapter 11 filing will allow McClatchy to restructure its debts and, it hopes, shed much of its pension obligations
************************************************
The LAST thing they should be allowed to do is screw their workers out of any earned pension and/or to saddle American taxpayers with those obligations.

They bought out the Biloxi (Coast paper with main offices just over the Gulfport line) Sun Herald many moons ago - I’d wager I wasn’t the only one who stopped having the paper delivered because of that.

The bonds are trading near par, so there’s no real danger of liquidation.

This will reduce the nation's supply of used toilet paper.

“55 percent of its debt would be eliminated”
Wrong. Those who are legitimately owed money would not get what is rightfully theirs. Suppliers and contractors are the ones who always get stiffed.

Bankruptcy is a way for them to get free money, by not paying what they owe.

Shed pension obligations. That’s what I read. Scumbags.

" the scale of our 75-year-old pension plan – with 10 pensioners for every single active employee – is a reflection of another economic era.”

No, it's a reflection of very-very bad management. McClatchy management lied to employees and underfunded its pension plans. Now it wants the US government, you and me, to bail it out. It will screw its retirees, employees, and us taxpayers, so that the current management team, the ones who perpetuated the scan, can keep working.
