The establishment media bloodbath continues this week with the news the far-left New York Magazine laid off five percent of its staff.
According to various reports, New York Magazine laid off 32 staffers. Half were full-time, the other half were freelancers or part timers. The idea, apparently, is to “restructure,” whatever that means.
What we have here is more proof that the so-called Trump Media Boom is just more fake news. One of the many ways our hideous media taunt President Trump is with the claim his political ascent has created flush times for the very same fake news industry he despises. But two years into his presidency, we are seeing that was just another media lie. Last year, there were already a number of massive media layoffs and this year there have been over a thousand more.

The Washington Post was sold a few years ago for a measly $250 million to sugar daddy Jeff Bezos and CNN’s ratings and reputation are a national laughingstock. Without the corporate welfare of bundled cable, CNN could hardly exist today.
What’s killing the media is fake news, lies, bias, and extended hate campaigns against normal Americans. We are still getting our news, we are just getting it elsewhere. And if the choice is being lied to and insulted or no news at all, we prefer no news at all.
Woo hoo
Fake news is dying a slow painful death
People are tuning out fake news, this will cause advertisers to advertise elsewhere
Trump’s war on Fake news is working.
“Learn to code.”
Heh.
I know that everyone on FR has a favorite newspaper to hate on - but more than any, I’d love to see the Minneapolis StarTribune (aka The Red Star) go into Chapter 11 and shut down completely.
Their local news is respectable at best - but their fawning over people like Amy Klobuchar, groups like the Somalis and their extremely biased editorial page make me unhappy.
The thought of their editorial staff having to go out somewhere and get real jobs is something I’d love to see.
Excellent news!
And less than two months ago, Gannett laid off journalists across the country.

When the lazy idiot journo-zombies belly-ached, they were told “Learn To Code”.
The dead tree media is soon to be as dead as the trees they used..................
That’s happening here at Tucson’s “Red Star.” Not much personnel left.
Be careful not to utter ‘Learn to code’ on Twitter....your account will be shutdown for 30 days. Just a one-liner, can make that happen.
What is Twitter ?
As the pond dies and evaporates, the water becomes more and more murky
That's the kaput filing.
A Chapter 11 filing for Bankruptcy allows the entity to hold creditors at bay in an attempt to salvage a possible reorganized and viable business.
people are tired of being lied to
That’s interesting.
Why do you think that happens?
When you get all your news/opinion from the DNC talking points, there's really no need for "journalists".
Investigation only leads to "agenda" problems when you find out the story really doesn't match the facts. In-depth reporting is not conducive to 10-second soundbites.
Original thoughts and "other viewpoints" are really not required, and only muddy up the meme.
No, you really only need typists who copy the spin, mixing up the words a little so it's not so obvious you're all working from the same script.
It’s pretty rare that I take any joy in seeing people lose their jobs.
In this case, I’m thrilled.
(However, I do have sympathy for the typesetters, delivery people, etc. who are caught in the crossfire).
5% is not much. But what a huge staff they have.
Let them learn coding.
Minnesota will never become great again until the Red Star is dead an buried.
The guys who rammed thru the first stadium and then sold their land to the developer.
