Axios (Politico for Kidz): Propaganda Media Now Scrambling for Survival
Ace of Spades ^ | 5 June 2024 | Ace of Spades

Before getting to that, let me be a Lying Skank Jen Psaki and Circle Back to turmoil at the Washington Post. I've quoted some of this but some of this is new (unless you saw it on other websites, which you probably did).

As you know, the Washington Post employees are revolting. But the new news is that they're also rebelling.

When Washington Post publisher Will Lewis and new interim executive editor Matt Murray met with staff Monday, the newsroom was still coming to terms with the abrupt exit of Sally Buzbee, who had led the paper since May 2021.

"Everyone was pretty shocked with your email last night," one reporter said at the meeting, according to a source present. The reporter suggested that "the most cynical interpretation sort of feels like you chose two of your buddies to come in and help run the Post, and we now have four white men running three newsrooms," and expressed surprise at this development given Lewis's prior commitments to diversity.

...

The (giggle) reporters are complaining about trifling bullshit, like that they're finding out about this by email on a Sunday night. "That's not how a well-functioning newsroom operates," one sniffs. Well, a well-functioning newsroom also doesn't lose half of its readership in three years due to extreme and unembarrassed leftwing hackery.

I lived across the river during 50s and 60s when D.C. had 2 major and rival papers. The Post was the conservative paper but then it bought the liberal Evening Star. Looks like the Star won that fight.

How does a paper lose say $75 million in a year?

That amount would cover 500 people at a cost of $150,000 each.

“Well, a well-functioning newsroom also doesn’t lose half of its readership in three years due to extreme and unembarrassed leftwing hackery.”

What is CNN’s percentage?

Newspapers have become the most needless entities on the planet. They're soon to all go down like the Titanic, taking all the bigshot, know-nothing lefty news writers to the bottom with them... And good riddance.
