I don’t like to see people loose jobs but when a major leftist organization is losing ground I call it WINNING....

the irony is so thick it can’t be cut with a knife: Concast “news” divisions have been cheering the economic destruction and demanding even more of it with states locked down until a vaccine is developed, and then curiously enough their revenue dries up for some unknown reason, and they’re forced to layoff a bunch of their leftist propagandists ...

I could think of a few at CNBC that need culling.

Talk about non-essential workers.

Can’t say I feel bad. Hopefully the layoffs will extend to MSNBC. The media and Hollywood are the least essential workers of all and they will NOT be missed.

Yep - or on base cable/satellite channels like AMC, FX, TBS, TNT, USA, WGN and any accompanying "Free Movies on Demand" portal. The scramble by the networks for filler looks to be starting up in earnest. I Love Lucy may be back on the air in a primetime slot pretty soon by the way things are going.

I watch “I Love Lucy” early in the morning on Hallmark. Such a TV series could not be made today. A ditzy woman just ain’t politically correct.

Comcast should hand out booklets on “How to Code” along with the pink slips..

Biden could autograph them to make a point...

Just means that whatever shows they have in the fall...will have no-name actors, and marginal scripts. Probably a lot of reality shows in the mix.

So, nothing will change.

The man is awful. His rhetoric is truly awful, full of spiteful venom. Why people think he’s funny is beyond me.

I know. I think it was Robin Williams who said that the kind of comedy he made could never be made today.

In fact he killed himself because he felt he couldn’t make people laugh anymore.
