That's going to leave a mark. More "green shoots".

It's clear why Westin quit yesterday.

[Carley]

They just make up the news anyway. They don’t really need reporters.

I said it yesterday, if ABC could think with their heads instead of their tingly parts, they would create an alliance with Fox News, which has everything to cover global news, and co-opt the “fair and balanced” approach to hard news. Gee, balanced reporting, what a concept...

[Buckeye McFrog]

sounds like they are going to rely on Libtards shooting and uploading their own stories to an ABC News channel on YouTube?

"I think by virtually any measure, our economy is a better place than it was two years ago," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said at his daily briefing.

Right, ABC? Right?????

Halve the number of Commies!! well that is a start.

I’m taking bets on whether Peter Jennining’s replacment will announce on November 2 that voters had another temper tantrum!

As part of the deep cuts announced this week at ABC News, the network plans to close all of its physical bureaus around the country except Washington and halve the number of its domestic correspondents.

They're able to keep the DC operation because DC has a large concentration of press-release writing hacks, mostly from the DNC, the rest from left-leaning advocacy organizations and law firms, who will continue to write broadcast-ready copy for them free of charge.

Serves them right. They reported themselves out of a job.

Imagine if ABC had actually aggressively looked into Obama’s background back in 2008... Imagine if they had covered the Tea Parties fairly like Fox did... Imagine if they had hounded the Democrats during the Healthcare debate about WHY they were pushing something the American people DID NOT WANT! but it's too late now, they were more worried about pushing their socialist agenda then their jobs.

they could be expanding their news division now instead of cutting it

[Tzimisce]

So how’s that “hope and change” working out for you at Another Barack Channel (ABC)?

[truthguy]

What’s ABC News?

[SanFranDan]

Though this thread and posts are particularly delicious, all Freeper posts on Dinosaur Media Death Watch threads are pure nectar. Thank you!

[KC Burke]

It is somewhat ironic that one of the many media to complain about the inaccuracy and ignorance of the unqualified blog-o-sphere and pajama’s media is now saying that its unused staff of reporters is of so little use that independent bloggers will now replace them.

Talk about crafting the news...

[Calusa]

cuts would make it nearly impossible to swarm major stories such as the perennial wildfires in Southern California

I always thought they used stock footage. Seen one fire seen'em all. I guess...

[KarlInOhio]

and be replaced with "digital" journalists who would be expected to shoot and edit their own stories.

Jimmy? Jimmy, it's ABC on the phone. Quit playing World of Warcraft, take a shower and report on what the Tea Party is doing locally. It's a good minimum wage job and that's more than you make doing your Lady Gaga impressions on Youtube.

Maybe the experienced ones can get head mounted satellite dishes, like Al Franken had when he was almost funny.

Who says the news media never reports happy stories?

[TASMANIANRED]

What a shame.</sarc>

[contrarian]

Cut 50%-—well, in my opinion they always were half a$$ed anyway.. Good enough
