Note to “journalists”” Try printing news in the news section and leave opinions to the fiction (editorial) section. It might even improve your circulation. If you do loose your job, you can always to into the other profession not requiring any education: politics.

"Like many newspapers, we're feeling financial pressures," Hanke Gratteau, the Chicago Tribune's managing editor for news, said.

"Like many newspapers, we're losing readers and advertisers at an amazing rate due to competition from on-line news sources that don't try to hide the fact that they're biased. We have decided to approach this problem in exactly the same way as every other newspaper in the country. Specifically, we will lay off editors, reporters, pressmen, route managers, and janitorial staff, until there is just a single college-educated liberal, swimming against the tide of reality while making himself and his two remaining readers feel really good inside. It'll be his job to turn off the lights."

Start with the editorial board and their anti-2nd Amendment advocates.

This is the paper that got Obama elected in the first place. During the race the Tribune published sealed divorce documents pertaining to his opponent. Huh. Karma can be enjoyable.

Just 80 in the newsroom? Oh poo, I was hoping for more.

Oh well, that means the next round of layoffs will have to be bigger.

Well, guess the BS peddlers need to get fitted for Burger King hats.

The only way for newspapers to save themselves is to stop hiring college graduates.

I used to subscribe to the Tribune. It was a respectable paper in its day.

I canceled my subscription after the 2000 election and their ceaseless cheerleading for Gore, the facts be damned.

I’d had some back and forth via email with their Washington bureau chief, James Warren, during Clinton’s troubles. I think I posted some of that here. I swear to God that Warren was on the White House payroll. A more gullible or complicit individual could not be conjured, even from fiction.

Up until 2000 I could stomach their d!psh!t columnists like Bob “Can I Borrow Your Intern?” Greene and Eric “The Weasel” Zorn **

Everything the Tribune offers can be had elsewhere, better, for free, without the nutbag liberal bias.

Who in their right mind would continue to pay for such nonsense.

It’s like TV news anymore: it’s News For Shut-ins®

( ** I have special contempt for Eric Zorn. If you’ve never encountered his dangerous lunacy, Google him up. Good God, is that guy ever an Olympic-caliber idiot! And get this, he’s in the bag for Obama! Who could have guessed? )
