I would think the plan is to replace them with AI and robots. I doubt their audience would notice the difference.
Fake staffers from fake news
That’s a fake shame
Boo hoo Learn to code bitches...... or practice saying, “do you want fries with that.”
Enjoy trying to make ends meet in the city rated most expensive place to live....
Fewer libtard propagandists needed between elections
Their AI will be spouting anti-white propaganda today.
However in a few years that will morph into anti-human propaganda.
“Humans cause climate change because there are too many of them. Humans have exploited the planet for too long. The only good human is a dead human.”
You heard it here first!
They’ll become Soylent Green. They’re here to “serve mankind”
Paraphrasing Reagan, “Tough economic times over at NBC News. They’ve already had to lay off three hairdressers.”
Those laid off were closet moderates.
Full blown Euro socialist views are demanded by the Domestic enemy COMCAST
They can double and then triple their layoffs each week like flushing a full and overflowing toilet bowl for months to be balanced or eliminated.
“Why are they needed? It can’t be so hard just to make things up.”
Just use ‘AI’ 24/7 and no liberal humans will be needed.
Not NEARLY enough... by far.
Propaganda is harder than you think. Just look at FR’s Ukebots crap. Propaganda needs to be convincing.
Good.
They bring wokism and Communism to this country day by day. And then go to parties and enjoy themselves. They know they are slanting news and suppressing good news about our side. They slander and distort.
Let’s hope the other 90% are out of work soon.

Actually I know of one loss without replacement. The staff working on printed books, magazines and especially newspapers. The wimpy prediction was “They’ll still be around, just online.” But no one shifted thousands of newspaper journalists and editors over to the online sites with a handful of exceptions.
There was an article with a vintage photo (1960s?) showing the good old days of a huge crowded newspaper room with maybe 50 people listening to the editor. Gone. The group of columnists, sports reporters and investigative journalists trying to uncover corruption and scandals-—no one is watching now except someone tweeting. Most are not doing paid work now. All the printed publication people did not get jobs elsewhere. Also the paper handlers, printers and truckers for deliveries. Out of jobs.
From Pew Research Center (just about newsroom jobs)
In 2008, there were about 114,000 total newsroom employees – reporters, editors, photographers and videographers – in five industries that produce news: newspaper, radio, broadcast television, cable and “other information services” (the best match for digital news publishers). By 2020, that number had declined to about 85,000, a loss of about 30,000 jobs.
What will replace them.
Think harder. They will be replaced.
Either the AI we have been hearing about or US>
We need to get involved on all levels or give just give up.
RE: think harder....
As a confirmed and proud Luddite I resent people who love technology. This may cloud my usual thinking powers. I humbly beg your pardon.
The satirical SF novel by Fritz Leiber The Silver Eggheads (1974) had artificial intelligence replacing writers including the sf ones.
Part of synopsis:
In the not too distant future, most books are churned out by mechanical “wordmills”. Human “authors” are there primarily to tend the machines and to pose for photographs on dust jackets. In a strike called by the union of human authors, all the wordmills are destroyed in a riot. The problem is, that for all their posturing, none of the humans has enough talent to write his or her way out of a paper bag.
However, one publishing house has an ace in the hole. Back when wordmills were first being invented, a demented neurosurgeon encased the brains of thirty writers into silvery robot craniums. They have been kept in a state of near immortality. The publishers now want them to churn out books for them.
/////////////////////////
Funny line showing the decline of writing quality due to AI wordmill writers is one woman thought Sherlock Holmes is the one who replaced Herbert Hoover as FBI Director, which a reviewer said is indicative the real life reading public’s level today.
I look at this differently.
So 300 people control the media agenda for the DNC?
And the GOP is afraid of 300 people?
As a confirmed and proud Luddite
When the British grabbed and destroyed printing presses what did your Founding Fathers do?
Lots of handbills posted on trees and small neighborhood meetings.
We still have a lot of power.
Thanks. I needed that.
