Faced with lower than expected advertising revenue, the Los Angeles Times said Monday that it had cut about 160 jobs at the newspaper.
About 60 of those positions were held by reporters and others in the editorial operations of the Tribune Co.-owned paper — two-thirds of whom took a voluntary buyout. The business operations at The Times, meanwhile, lost about 100 positions.

Let's have a party.
My 23 year old son and I were talking about the commie media last night. My boy is to the right of his old man, which is saying something.
His observation was that Clinton and Gore are the ones who let the internet genie out of the bottle, and now it's destroying the liberals' iron monopoly on information. Once people are allowed two choices and one of them is logical, it's all over for the libs. We are winning, folks.
Go see Cal, Go see Cal, Go see Cal...
I'm actually shedding tears over this news. Tears of laughter.
That's what passes for liberal "economic theory." Naturally they probably want the taxpayers to make up their profit shortfall. Think of a World Without the L.A. Times.
T.V. was the death blow, they've been running on car ads since; soon, legal notices will be their only source of income.
Once I figured out it was a shad, not a trout, it was easy.
If employees of the Wall Street Journal get fired, these same idiots will believe the fired were conservatives and be saddened.
The LA Times will have an editorial tomorrow blaming Bush.
Once I figured out it was a shad, not a trout, it was easy. Good one!
I wonder if any of the jackals in that room are taking a pay cut. Probably not.
Does anyone know if the LAtimes is caught up in the circulation inflation scandal?
Sure, it'll translate into jobs, but the same will happen at the NY Times. But the NY Post will be picking up the slack since their ad revenue and circulation is increasing.

Gee, what do you think happens when you print what the AP, Reuters and Al Jazera writes word for word? No need for all those high priced propagandists, errr journalists.
Go even further left! Go all the way! Let it all hang out! You'll see your circulation go through the roof!
You're welcome.
