These people are jaw dropping stupid. I sat for a full 5 minutes attempting to think of the reasoning behind what these morons are doing. What is it they think a news publication will do, due to these petitions? The job cuts are being made to save the entire paper from possible bankruptcy in the face of declining ad revenue, itself brought on by declining circulation. What do the fools at moveon think the paper should do? Raise their ad rates? No, because that will simply drive MORE advertisers away and exacerbate the problem. How about raising the subscribers price? Nah, they are already canceling at an alarming rate and this will simply increase that rate. The real reason these papers are failing is because their readers are fed up with the content and style of reporting (liberal bias and outright lies). Now you would think they would be able to discern this by doing a bit of investigating and then make the required adjustments in the way the news is reported. Of course of they did that and actually became "fair and balanced", I'm sure the goofy move on crowd would still be petitioning them but for an entirely different reason.

Bottom line here is that in typical lib fashion, the lefty loons exhibit absolutely no knowledge of what makes a business run successfully. Trying to explain the business fact that in order for a business concern to be successful, the total receipts must in every case exceed total outlays is akin to explaining quantum theory to your Siamese Fighting fish.
