And the crying girl?

[FatherofFive]

Cut 100% of staf

[eyeamok]

We are going to need a lot of new schools to teach them How to Code.

[Skywise]

I shed no tears over this - Gannett took a once great newspaper and turned it into a partisan propaganda rag and can’t figure out why they can’t get subscribers anymore.

For years, I’ve been waiting for the bastards at Gannett to get what’s coming to them. They absolutely ruined several decent newspapers here in Louisiana.

To be honest, I like newspapers and books. But there is no newspaper I will buy anymore, waste of time and money

After the Rocky Mountain News closed a few years ago, the Denver Post became the incredible shrinking newspaper. It's down to very few pages anymore.

Not that I mind. They are determined to go down as a Nevertrump partisan Democrat rag.

Gannet has been a pro Hillary and pro Democrat mouthpiece. Shut it down.

[Grampa Dave]

No tears from here with these haters of America, Deploreables, President Trump and Christians.

Donna E. Shalala was on their Board of Directors for many years.

It couldn’t happen to more deserving folks.

But I understand most of them can use a keyboard pretty well.

It should not be too hard for them to learn to code...

[kiryandil]

Learn to code, Trump haters in the Media.

I was in the airport a few weeks ago and saw someone reading the NY Times. It had a very tiny format and very thin and I asked him (to make sure) “is that the NY Times”. He said yes. I replied, “I guess their liberal spin is not working our very well”. All I got in return was a glare.

Worse, McClatchy has to deal with its ongoing pension plan problems, now negotiating “a distressed termination” with the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

Heavens, I believe I might have a SchadenBohner...

[marktwain]

The cuts amount to about 100K per job. Seems about right with benefits.

[Zathras]

The MSM makes most of their $$$ of campaign ads.
Getting the parties to pour $$$ into their pockets is how they survive.
Starve the Beast

[minnesota_bound]

No job and no pension is what awaits.

[MrEdd]

Except code has to make sense.
I am sure most of them will try to explain that the compiler is too stupid and racist to understand their brilliant code.

[Hojczyk]

Only old people read a newspaper...and dam few of them....

only a local paper..with local news and ads for local business and it has to be free..

[MrEdd]

Oh no no no.

Ridicule also waits.
