You know, I used to view this sort of news with mixed feelings. It’s great that the left-wing MSM is getting creamed, but what about the little guys who set type, deliver papers, maintain presses, cleans up the office of the bigshots, or drive the paper forklift and who are the ones who lose their jobs when we see these “Big Newspaper X Lays off 500” headlines? But you know, I’m increasingly coming to view ANY participation in promoting the MSM and its propagandistic stranglehold on the American information system as subversive and un-American, even the little guys who are the cogs that make the machine continue to operate. They’re as much a part of the problem as the editors and producers who determine content and slant. Working for the MSM in any capacity is much like working in a cigarette factory or as a welfare case worker - you become part of the problem that contributes to the enslavement of others.

I used to work as a new subscription seller in the office for a liberal rag in Texas and I could not help but laugh when I talked to some potential customers who would say

" I am not going to buy that liberal rag!!!". I would agree with them right off the top even though we were told to tell customers that we had "fair and balanced coverage from so and so".

That, needless to say, would get them in an even bigger rant. I would them put them on speaker for some of my liberal co-workers so they would hear what customers had to say.
