Journos Meltdown After Being Told 'Learn To Code' In Wake Of Mass Layoffs At HuffPo, Buzzfeed
InformationLiberation ^ | Jan. 24, 2019 | Chris Menahan

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!

Wake up and smell the covfefe! Pop culture/identity/marginalized communities has been done to death.

Seriously, learn something else while you’re still young enough to get a clue.

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

Hundreds of Universities are looking for this type of qualification for sure.

I made some serious $$$ debugging and rewriting some yahoo code, and I still get that dopamine rush when something I build works correctly. Eventually though coding became just a tool to build and demo other concepts and it lost the luster that it first held.

Gave it a try, discovered it was not for me.

“Oh, I forgot to insert the semi-colon on line 753.
THAT’S why it won’t compile!”

Chasing down stuff like that every day would drive me batty.

LOL. Learn to code Hell. Learn to mow grass. The way these “Journos” drink and smoke pot, being a landscaper is probably the right career alternative for them.

That's it! She can be a meter maid, although she will probably have to call herself a gender neutral meter person.

Let them learn to code. Then, they can learn what it’s like to proudly train their H1-B replacement.

The problem with a french fry job is that they will run out of hands before they learn you don’t reach into the boiling oil to get the fries.

Latinx is our cultural imperialism of trying to force a Germanic neuter gender on Spanish with only a masculine Latino and feminine Latina.

(do you think that will get the anti-cultural appropriation leftists to fight with the Heinz 57 genders LGBTQEIEIO leftists?)

“Learn to Code?? Screw that, learn to Pour Coffee, Starbucks is always hiring.”

Better yet, tend bar in NYC for a couple years, steal your co-workers tips and END UP IN CONGRESS!

Thanks for posting this!

What an absolutely fun time I have had reading it. I had to save it so I could savor it again later.

Karma’s deferred consequences have a sweet sting, much sweeter now than at Judgement.

Life is short. Get small and stay small.

What does a PhD in romantic comedies tell you? It tells me that she went off in a wrong direction and didn’t know when to quit.
