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!

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

Basic coding was offered even when I was in High School

I bet that the same was offered in their high schools, but that was "like, too dorky for them, like, yannow, to do." I composed my first line of code in my Junior High computer science class. I loved seeing the results of typing line after line of code - there is satisfaction in that.

So don’t learn to code, they’ll just ship the jobs to India where they learned to code. Ugh!

[Palio di Siena]

Well if they don’t want to learn to code - they could learn to sign.

amazing woman and virtually unknown for her accomplishments.

The challenge on "learning to code" is that there's another code coming out daily. This is why most companies hire interns who know the latest. Why train people when you can hire interns (or ship the job overseas)? Sad but that's how it works now.

As for journalism, nobody remembers what that is. That being said, there never was any objective, non-partisan journalism. That's a myth started by the left that wants everyone to buy their crap. Was Poor Richard's Almanac non-partisan? Of course not. Everyone is partisan.

anyone telling journalists to "learn to code" today, i have a piece of unsolicited advice for you: swandive into vesuivius

The difference is that many newspapers let you know outright where their partisan loyalties were (there was an editorial declaration that a newspaper was aligned with one party or another). Today, the Left-wingers chant “We’re objective. Trust us!”

Love it!

There is a finite group of people who can be happy as a coder. If you don’t like it, you will HATE it

I’m sure the feds will need janitorial contractors as not all will make it through the shutdown without finding other jobs.

Something that these Purveyors of Bull Squeeze fail to grasp.

[Drew68]

I'm currently reading the replies over at Chloe Angyal's Twitter page and LMAO!

Gonna be hours of entertainment today!

[SaxxonWoods]

The thing they hate the worst is when you play by their rules.

I love the one who wrote, “Like many talented and lovely journalists, I was laid off today.”

Is she a writer or a pole dancer?

Exactly right. They pretend they're objective while holding up dishonest Cronkite as some kind of standard. What a joke.

Funny stuff,Thanks :)

Ridding a hull of barnacles is never seen as a threat to the boat itself -- except by the barnacles.
