the McClatchy statement is a magnificent example of corporate double-speak and obfuscation that should be taught in business schools.

here’s my pithy translation of their lengthy screed:

“Our revenue is significantly down because we are in a failing business with fewer and fewer paying customers each and every day, so we were forced to layoff a bunch of employees to try to stave off bankruptcy just a little bit longer.”

“So will there be less propaganda available?”

probably more ... it’s pretty obvious that the lying leftist fake stream enemedia have already pulled in their horns and now attempt to appeal only to the very narrow slice of their hardcore leftist/progressive customers who are the only ones who willingly pay to lap up their worthless propaganda ...

That kind of sums it up. They don’t have the guts to say it in plain English. We are letting people go because we are failing.

"though Trump didn’t manage to cut it short, it didn’t get re-funded, so now the paid-off media are cutting the staff dedicated to it."

So these Trump hating shysters were able to keep people on their payrolls because of Obama funding. I have a coffee cup which informs I drink coffee made with liberal tears. This information has now inspired me to put a Black Rifle Coffee K-cup in the brewer to celebrate such a wonderful piece of news. Man oh man, it doesn't get much sweeter.

There’s your criminal collusion. The entrenched commies in government misusing our tax dollars and colluding with the commies in the media trying to prevent Republicans from winning elections or trying to oust them when they do.

I remember that too! My parents finally stopped taking the Bee about three years ago because it cost too much for too little. They get their little local hometown paper, which has shrunk from six days a week to two days a week.

Wait until corporate boards start demanding proof that their advertising expenditures is meeting the right people.

That reality will gut the fake news fishwraps and magazines.

They will become museums not places of business.

More of the MAGA impact on left wing establishments.
