Makes one wonder why anyone would want to “invest” in the newspaper business?

Rekah Basu continues typing up hate at the Des Moines Register.
With the government shutdown, the DOJ hasn’t been able to issue paychecks to the media for fake reporting or propaganda. Most likely brings FISA requests to a standstill due to lack of purchased news stories used as evidence to obtain warrants. Really very funny but true.
Well could not happen to nicer people..
In general, if papers would concentrate on the local area and state alone, most would have the capability to survive. But the use of papers for political platforms? No one has interest in picking up some 80-cent paper that blasts Trump on the front-page.
Sorry I try not to subsidize professions that views me as a know-nothing a-hole. That's just me though.
I’m trying to feel bad for out of work propagandists. Trying. Nope. Not feeling it.
I am just as sympathetic towards them, as they were about all the people who lost their jobs in the oil industry in the 1980s and 1990s.
Actually, I’m feeling good about it. Propagandists should be unemployed.
“Journalists?”
“Both companies have lost sight of the critical product they are meant to provide — journalism.”
The “journalist” went first.
Now we need to turn the so called Mainstream Media off the TV. Fox has even gone to putting idiot leftist on. I could stand them when they tried to be honest but the media has gone bonkers and back up one lie with another. I know a lot of folks cant get OAN News but I watch it in place of the rest of them. Contact your provider and ask for OAN News America. They are not as fancy but their content is more in depth and revealing.
Gannett has not had journalists in years. They’ve had lots of leftist advocates playing journalist.
Propaganda doesn’t pay like it use to.
What’s a socialist with a undergrad in English, another undergrad in ethnic studies, and a masters in medieval woman’s literature and $500K in student loans going to do?
My local newspaper is a liberal rag.
I hear 7/11 is hiring.
I know the pain of working almost 20 years for a company and then get laid off without so much as a ‘thank you’. It does hurt.
However, I don’t understand how much denial these people are in. Can a town seriously survive without a newspaper cartoonist? Or a womens sports reporter?
The industry is dying because it failed to adapt. I haven’t picked up a newspaper to read in a long, long time. I, frankly, was glad to no longer be hostage to one-sided liberal reporting when I quit my subscription back in the 1990s.
My career has been a bumpy one since my 2010 layoff but the good news is retirement is not far away, likely another 18 months or so. I just have to find one more job and hang onto it until then.
I hope these people like working at Burger King or as baristas because there isn’t a whole lot else they are qualified for.
I know a guy like this. Went to high school with him. Over thirty years with a large daily paper that ceased publication. No idea what he’s doing now but I’m sure his situation isn’t pretty.
