Journos Meltdown After Being Told 'Learn To Code' In Wake Of Mass Layoffs At HuffPo, Buzzfeed

After news came out about mass layoffs at HuffPost, Buzzfeed and Gannett -- in the midst of the media's relentless smear-job against the Covington Catholic students -- right-wing Twitter had a field day.

Tons of leftist journalists announced they were laid off on Twitter and the top meme was telling them to "learn to code" -- which is the same advice the media gave middle Americans whose jobs are being taken in traditional industries.

Talia Levin, who was hired by Media Matters last year after being fired by the New Yorker for smearing an ICE agent as a Nazi because she thought a tattoo he had looked like an iron cross, got quite triggered:

Chloe Angyal, best known for penning the inflammatory "Goy Bye!" Huffington Post headline after Steve Bannon was ousted from the White House, was also laid off.

Yes, she has a *literal* PhD in Romantic Comedies.

The editor-in-chief of Jalopnik (which is now owned by the far-left Gizmodo Media Group) was also "trigged":

Smearing a bunch of children and trying to ruin their lives for smiling is "respectable journalism" -- but making fun of journalists for losing their jobs is just a step too far!

Good transition, AP. But these cats are still using a "rolodex"!! it's in their tweets.

Ironic these women think coding is beneath them, when female pioneers like Grace Hopper, Lovelace, Perlman have made significant contributions.

I'm not surprised. Even the New York Times and Washington Post have not been on a hiring binge in the last year or so.

[Old Yeller]

Journalists aren’t smart enough to do that kind of work.

"...learn to Pour Coffee..."

Yeah, that'll work

[ExTxMarine]

...Starbucks is always hiring.

And they already have the same useless ideas and wasted college degrees to match the majority of the customers there! The conversations should be magnanimous!

I can’t imagine that a qualified long or short form culture/gender/politics reporter won’t land on her feet. She can probably write her own ticket

Well, the problem is that while the elites want to have as much of that crapola as possible, actual consumers don't. That's why so many of them are going under -- there simply isn't a demand among paying consumers for that product. So, employing those people doesn't generate enough revenue to keep them in business.

It's almost like a pyramid scheme at this point. As more and more media companies figure out that employing virtue signallers doesn't generate revenue, those jobs will collapse.

Ping.

Why am I reminded of the Muppet Beaker?

Will the compiler accept the code if it identifies as error-free?

[HombreSecreto]

But some of them have language skills!

They can say "Would you like fries with that?" in:

French - Voudriez-vous des frites avec ça?
Spanish - ¿Le gustaría papas fritas con eso?
Latin - Vis poma fricta cum eo?
Pig Latin - Ouldway ouyay ikelay iesfray ithway atthay?
Russian - Хочешь картошку фри с этим?
Swahili - Je! Ungependa fries na hayo?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey, HuffPost, Buzzfeed and Gannett former ‘journalists’, there will be plenty of job openings as advisers with the 3 or 4 dozen democratic party presidential candidates. You all already know how they think, and they know how you think, so, this is your chance to remain the mouthpieces of the democrats. I’m sure those candidates feel your pain.

Clinging to their copies of Rules for Radicals and their latte machianos.

As we used to say when I was a kid, “Ooooooh, BURN!”

The lack of self awareness is mind boggling. These are of course not “journalist” they are propagandist.

Their job was not even to explain our culture but to shape it to what they wish it were.

Even with almost the entire media, entertainment, education, unions and Democrat party also pushing the same agenda Americans in fly over country are not buying what they are selling.

The first lesson I learned when I got my first job was the owner must make money or I don’t make money. Simple concept. Something liberals never learn.

[KC_Lion]

LOL!

Basic coding was offered even when I was in High School

What a bunch of Putzes.

[KMac1945]

This thread made my morning! Meltdowns galore! Thanks for posting it.

[bigbob]

Coding requires logical thinking and attention to detail. Journos are not qualified.

[wally_bert]

Me and hardware get along ok.

Code and me never quite hit it off.

[NFHale]

Hombre...
I think we’re long-lost twins!!!!!!

HAHAHA!!!!

[longfellow]

Columnists, should that say communists? Is that a typo?
