I read somehwere this week that Krugman makes over $300,000 a year salary.

Why not apply "it takes a village" philosphy and save at least 10 lower level employees at $30,000 per year in exchange for one high salary employee?

Shades of the 80's.
The company is failing?

You can be pretty sure that most of these 500 people are hapless flunkies. The leftists in charge will use their salaries to pay themselves more.

It's like the purge of the Kulaks.

My my--the fate of an organization does indeed rest on its hiring policies. Hire liars, lose subscriptions, viewers, customers. Happens every time.

It's not like they had real jobs anyway. People who have actual real jobs don't lose them.

I am sure they will find real jobs for their talents like... scaling fish or cleaning cages at the zoo.

This just made my day. What a great story--the seat of journalistic fraud is finally receiving some well-deserved losses.

I don't know if we should refer to them as a mammalian species. They are more like snakes (reptiles) than anything else.

Cancel ALL newspapers..yes even yours. Its liberating and it sends a message.

OH, I did cancel my subscription to the Al-Jazeera Constitution (Atlanta Journal Constitution). What was most fun was ragging on them when they kept calling trying to get me to come back.
I said things like, "I wouldn't let my dog $hit on your paper. "

Liberating indeed!!!

I'm sure their fact-checkers were the first to go.

"The headline should read "Greedy New York Times to sacrifce 500 middle class jobs to achieve its long-term strategic goals."

Love it. Now, if those 500 middle class folks can figure out what's going on, maybe they'll get a real MSM going!
