Hmm, it must be Bush's fault! Joy to my heart seeing that the LA Times is going through hard times. I wonder what they are thinking on the Old York Times...

[clee1]

Joy to the World!

[SevenofNine]

Must be Karl Rove fault LOL!

Or Chicago Cubs fault since Cubs hasn't been to world series since 1945 LOL!!

[DuckFan4ever]

I hate feeling so good about someone else's misery. The Germans have a word for it.

[SandRat]

All hail the Lusitania Times glug glug!!!

[Gordongekko909]

Blast! Moveon.org's petition must not be working! This is an outrage! Why is the L.A. times not listening to moveon, and instead acting in its own best interests? It's as if they're in business for themselves or something?

*waits for moveon to announce a boycott*

See, there IS good news from the AP!

But the editors and managers keep their jobs, I bet. Funny, and I mean funny ha ha, how the economy is moving along nicely but the dinosaur media keeps shrinking.

Yeap ~ may they forever ...

[CommandoFrank]

Yep, and they don't even get a Christmas severance package because there is no longer any Christmas in their eyes.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I kinda' regret this.
I want the lefties kept in their ghettoes of journalism.
They might do more damage, roaming the world and pretending to be
normal human beings.

You've got to feel sorry for the L.A. Times. How many of the people in Los Angeles either a) don't understand English b) can't read c) don't care for the politics of the Times or d) aren't native to California and don't particularly care about California?

Seriously, a dead medium in a state with more vanity than sanity. You're history, sweetheart. Best to find some rich old man to take care of you or you'll end up like Maureen Dowd - worthless and unwanted.

Tribune Company versus the DJI, for the past year. Closing in on -30% versus last year and -30% off the Dow Jones Industial average today.

I wonder what they are thinking on the Old York Times...

Right now they're probably wondering why their stock is sinking like a rock when it's "everyone else that's in trouble".

[GoBucks2002]

They're closing a plant in America. They MUST be outsourcing, sending jobs overseas, "and under George Bush, they get a tax break for doing so" (as we were told ad nauseam during the last campaign).

Newspapers condemn other businesses for laying people off, yet they do it and it appears fine. Hmmm..... how much does their CEO make? Where does he live? How many cars does he have? He must be eeeevilllll.

Oh, wait. He owns a publishing company. He can do whatever he wants.

[Pompah]

Like a bus load of lawyers plunging off a cliff,

Hey. It's a start.
