Bloodbath: ‘Los Angeles Times’ To Cut 10% of Staff
Breitbart.com ^ | 5 Oct 2015 | John Nolte

While it may be impossible to believe that an upstanding newspaper like The Los Angeles Times, a trusted and beloved publication that describes half-black men as “white supremacists,” is having financial troubles, the fact is that a bloodbath involving at least 10% of newsroom staffers is underway.

The Los Angeles Times staff will be reduced from 500 to around 450, and buyouts are being offered, but not really. There’s some severance and an additional amount that equals a week’s pay for every year of employment. This sounds like less of a buyout than a small incentive to avoid being laid off, which is what will happen if not enough people accept the so-called buyout.

The LA Times is owned by Tribune Publishing, which will be laying off 80 total employees.

Bottom line: The LA Times is doomed. Imagine a left-wing publication that is so poorly edited, so untrustworthy, and so useless, it can’t even survive in one of the most left-wing cities in America. Things are so bad, the paper’s last publisher didn’t even last a year.

If I’m not mistaken, their front page headlines this AM was, “Employment has sunny outlook”...

The MSM is just corrupt to the core. Tokyo Rose would be proud.

the LA Times is bad the NY Times, but worse since its crossword puzzles are not quite as good.

A happy news story. I don’t like unemployment. But if it’s within the enemedia, I make an exception.

I use to occasionally buy when I ate out for breakfast. That stopped when they wanted $2 for that rag. How many people carry around 8 quarters in their pockets.

I read the paper primarily for the death notices, cannot wait to see the final death notice for the Slimes.

The Slimes brought this upon itself. Some might be surprised to learn that the LAT, back in the day, was a staunchly conservative newspaper.

I would be happy to see to it simply become more even handed in it reporting, endorsements, and editorial page. Today it is basically an appendage of the Democrat Party like most of the rest of the media. Adios LA Slimes!

The truly corrupted ones will not get fired. They are the ones circling the wagons.

Adios LA Slimes!

It's the result of following an unpopular false meme for way too long and the stink of bias, being so bad, that even the liberal/progressives are having a hard time consuming it (while they hold their noses).

There's only one newspaper left in America that I still read - The Wall Street Journal.

And that one I read electronically on my iPad.
