ABC News has begun the process of eliminating 300 to 400 positions at the news division by asking employees to participate in a buyout of their services.
In a move that has been rumored for weeks, and coming on the heels of layoffs at CBS News, ABC's cuts are a combination of union and non-union jobs affecting all areas of ABC News.

Will they still be reporting that the stimulus is working?

Bingo!

Maybe if they chose to report the news with some semblance of objectivity this wouldn’t happen.
Jus’ sayin’.....

How are they going to work out the union separation between talent and crew if the reporters are shooting and editing their own stories, I wonder?

There may be political elements to some of these layoffs, like targeting the white guy who doesn't "increase diversity" or the gal who was insufficiently enthusiastic about Obama or the boss' pet cause. If that's going on, the media will only get worse.
(This is a reason shrinking the government also won't work if budget cuts leave only the most ruthless, budget-expanding, affirmative action-protected bureaucrats in place.)

LOL! Someone had a cartoon of the poor dinosaurs. They were sort of cute - liberal news readers/propagandists are PURE scum.
We have to make sure these vampaires have stakes in their heart because they are the power behind the elites and Dems. TV is their power. I also do not trust Fox due to Saudi ownership. Murdoch is not to be trusted. Fox is better than the other evil scum.

If thats not shocking in and of itself to ABC, NBC and CBS nothing else will be.
“To abc, cbs & nbc, it’s real economics stupid”.
It’s simple arrogance and it is all over government as well as corporate America. So long as we have the ability to compete it’s just a cycle that will come and go.

No one told them that elections have consequences.

Hopefully PMSNBC will be next to make big cuts - and I hope Olbermann is at the top of the list.

They would save a ton of dough if they just got rid of The View...or as I call it “The Spew”.

Wouldn't watch it then, won't watch it now. Good riddance I say.
