What a wonderful start. Feel bad for those unemployed lefties, but their gov't will take care of them and I am sure the papers are giving them large severance packages. Its about time for the Times to lay off several hundred. If they can keep this up, in just a short while there will no longer be an MSM>

>> the centuries old model of the newspaper is all but dead and buried. My great-grandchildren may never see one outside of a museum

If you have a record player ask your kids to change the needle... If you can find anyone who still sells the needles.

My cousins kids in high school never saw music on vinyl and think it is the dumbest thing in the world.

Same will be the case with print media in a few years.

likely "fewer than 100", .........My God we are talking about real people here. The Tribune Leadership treats them like so many cattle to be slaughtered. Seems the leadership of Newsrooms are eating their own. Next time you read the newspaper... remember they now use "Soylent Black Ink" ........

Trib is the worst paper in the land. It is written in the Human Interest format with nearly every sob story sounding just like the last sob story. Its editorial board is comprised of nearly all guilty feeling whites and two black men and together they comprise a stuck record, and along with all their AA hires who pound out articles written to form it is nearly unreadable. Except for John Kass and a couple of sports writers such as Pierson it is a waste of time.

Journo work habits, you say? Jayson Blair had it down to a tee. Wrote his stories about faraway places safely ensconced in NYC coffee houses. Trouble is he never told his editors.

Forget the rigged/lying/wetdream polls on how bad the libs dream GW is doing. The real poll is on the lying news papers and the fall of their stock in the last year.

NYT = NY Slimes, WPO = Washington Post, TRB = Chicago Tribune and LA Slimes

They will try to write books like Mary Mapes about how GW lied and they got fired.

None of these slimey/worthless POSes are capable of working.

Would you want a hamburger or fries made or handled by these diseased maggots?

Bingo! Even Dick Tracey is unreadable.

"If you own stock in MSM companies, it is way past time to dump em."

Yes. Also, 99.9% of any stock of any left wing rat company should have been dropped the week before GW was sworn in as president for his first term.

I got that advise from one of the most successful private investors I know. He said that most of the liberal companies had invested in the Clintoons, Gore and the Rats instead of research and improving their companies. The political patronage benefits they had bought under the Clintoons was no longer viable nor important. He was correct, and I acted then. Since then before we buy any mutual fund, I make sure that none of their top 20 stocks are left wing controlled companies.

Another step the liberal dominant media makes toward its inevitable demise!
