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.
Developing...
Yes but should leftwing moonbat reporters apply?
Surely you Jest, only little people, especially the older ones, are expendable.
Good! I hope every one of them has to go out into the economy created by the Democrat policies they championed, find a job doing something other than journalism, and keep it.
LOL!
LOL..outstanding

Nope! :)
Gotta quit skimming titles. At first I thought it said 300-400 prostitutes to be eliminated.

ABC News to Cut Hundreds of Staff Members
My guess is 70 to 90% of these folks are ardent Dems....I am not trying to be mean, but in the words of Sarah Palin, How is that hopey changey thing workin' for ya....
Funny!
I often wonder if all this liberal bias in the media will translated to different political views. Is political propaganda by the MSM that persuasive...is man that sheepish?
What surprised me the most is they actually have more than 300-400 employees. What do they do?
“Massive Cuts at ABC News; 300-400 Positions to be Eliminated”
Great news! I wonder if this was part of the 2.1 million jobs created by Obama?
Wooohoooo....die AllBarryChannel, die!!!!!!
“fundamental transformation”
That means they are going to be a PR arm for the left, don’t need any real staff for that, just ask NEWSWEAK.
I feel no sympathy at all for this network, those staffers, that news division or Disney.
They are responsible for the crap they’ve put on the air for decades and didn’t care. They didn’t care about objective reporting, FOX ate their lunch. They didn’t care about putting on a White House informercial on health care? The public ignored them.
Every step of the way for thirty years we’ve told them what they need to gain us or gain us back as viewers. They didn’t listen, they didn’t care, they were above it all.
SUCK IT ABC NEWS STAFFERS!
For years and years when I was a local Account Executive I had small business owners ask me how I could sell the national newscasts. Answer: I didn’t have to. The networks control 100% of the inventory in their propaganda with no local avails.
I hate to say it but I would never have packaged a local advertiser into the network nightly newscast unless it was by request. You’d be surprised to learn that over a ten year period not ONE local advertiser wanted to buy the network newscast or questioned why he couldn’t.
If that’s not shocking in and of itself to ABC, NBC and CBS nothing else will be.
“Could this possibly have anything to do with their output?”
LMAO!!
Good one!
Stock holders in major media companies are as clueless as the left-nuts who run them. If the stock holders understood WHY these companies are losing share value, they'd demand a turn to starboard in a heartbeat.
And, if they're such left-wing ideologues that they couldn't bear to demand a journalistic turn to the right, then they ought to sell their stock.
