Well, that's one piece of good news.

[fuente]

What are they gonna do, leave the pages blank? They have ZERO credibility.

[JonPreston]

Nothing will get me to buy a newspaper again.

[decal]

Anyone brainless enough to read any Gannett paper needs to be told to breathe, so don’t expect anything much to happen with this.

[llevrok]

editors said in a presentation: 'Readers don’t want us to tell them what to think.

No sh^t, Sherlock.

[17th Miss Regt]

...by telling the media company to hire 'writers that aren't left-wing activists.'

Well, that's half of it. The other half is to fire the left wing hack writers.

[Pearfect]

The liberals can’t help themselves.

Don’t believe anything you read in the left wing democrat media.

ANYTHING !!!

[Gene Eric]

Which means the removal of Conservative voices.

[NWFree]

“ scale back opinion pieces which are ‘repelling readers’ who do not want to be told what to do.”

Get rid off the real root of the control freak problem - libtards 🤪

[rktman]

Yeah, after how many years of lies, half-truths(?), misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, lopsided coverage.....Too little too late assclowns. Hell they’d have to fire 90% of the Reno-gayzette journal. Repelled beyond caring if they go bankrupt.

[BenLurkin]

Back to pretending they aren’t communists?

[Obadiah]

A few decades behind the curve, eh?

[DoughtyOne]

The Left has been too successful as of late.

It’s going to cost them in November this year, and in
November 2024.

The month after the Republicans take over Congress again, the
SCOTUS will have nine Justices sitting on the court.

The B. S. has been too crazy, and thinking folks are going
to have their say.

[DoodleBob]

They may put the mask back on, but their contempt for the reader remains as vile as ever.

'Today’s contemporary audiences frequently are unable to distinguish between objective news reporting and Opinion content.

Actually, we CAN distinguish very accurately. Keep going...

'In the old days, content appearing on print pages that were clearly labeled helped alleviate those concerns, along with a society that possessed a higher news literacy.

Man, oh Manischewitz....they think we are dolts.

The editors said they had been losing reader subscriptions as a result of their perceived bias.

[SunkenCiv]

IOW, in the past 20 years USA Today has published one article that wasn't grossly insulting to conservatives -- and that writer will be fired.

[cgbg]

They need to fire the left wing writers, editors, publishers en masse.

Any writer/editor that mentions “climate change”, “pride month”, “white racism”, “gun control”, or any other leftist dog whistles needs to be terminated on the spot.

[dynachrome]

Firing all bidet and bernie bros would be a good start.

[Flick Lives]

Gannett must have entered the “Netflix Zone”, where a loss of subscribers, due to over-wokeness, suddenly reaches critical levels.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The Ministry of Propaganda wants to fool people into thinking they have heard us and are changing.

[Cecily]

In other words, got woke, going broke.
