BREAKING: Washington Post to cut 240 positions as Americans turn away from corporate media
The Post Millenial ^ | 10-10-23 | Hannah Nightingale

Posted on 10/10/2023 3:33:38 PM PDT by dynachrome

The Washington Post is reportedly cutting 240 employees in the 'hopes of averting more difficult actions such as layoffs — a situation we are united in trying to avoid."

An email obtained by New York Times reporter Ben Mullin states that employees will be attending a 10 am meeting on October 11 to discuss the action.

"Following this meeting, all eligible employees will be notified by email if their position is included in the program, and they are welcome to consider the package. Senior leaders will then share department specific information in meetings to follow throughout the day," the email reportedly read.

This program referenced by the media outlet is a "voluntary separation package" that will be offered to employees in an effort to reduce 240 positions "across all functions of The Post."

“First, the Post is offering sweet retirement/resignation incentives seeking voluntary departures. If not enough people take the offers, then the axe comes out.

An older cousin, who was more like an older and wiser brother. He told all of us if we ever got the sweet retirement/early out package.

“To take it, run and never look back.”

I got 2 of those, and I am still getting the benefits.

Those, who stayed got terrible terminations and retirement packages for their loyalty.

Is it true that the Chinese own/run the Epoch Times under a shell corp?

No, the Epoch Times is the modernization of an anticommunist newsletter defending the peaceful semi-religious order Falun Gong from Communist Chinese persecution and Ethnic Cleansing.

Epoch Times is now a Newspaper somewhat Capitalistic in organization, and a little on the pricey side for a newspaper.

They have opinions, however they are far far away from Disinformation.

I'll bet the truth is that Bezos inflated the value of his properties and he needs to cut WaPo staff to pay for the expense of getting his massive super yacht out of drydock.

As a young man I would read a newspaper everyday as well as get Times, Newsweek and US News. As I got older (and wiser) I began to realize I was being lied to. Into my 40s I was living in the Bay Area when I noticed something strange. Every section of the paper had at least one (positive) homosexual story. I then realized I was not only being lied to but I was being indoctrinated. I gave up on papers soon afterwards.

Today with the internet I have many sources of “news”. It is still slanted but with several sources I have a better chance to think for myself and not told how or what to think.

Looks like all those Columbia Journalism/Agitprop degrees weren’t worth much.

And how is this not a layoff?

Well, the Epoch Times does give you something for the money, as opposed to most all Western Mainstream Media, which is not fit to be used for toilet paper.

I read it for free for years. Every issue contained part of "The Nine Commentaries On The Communist Party", which are an excellent deconstruction of the biggest a$$holes who ever lived.

But they couldn't quite get to saying that Socialism is the Root Cause of the Communist Bad, so I am not "all in" for the Epoch Times, but I'm glad they're here.

Has anyone read the WAPO lately? Of course not - it’s unreadable. And one of their lead editorial writers came out in support of Hamas Sunday. Adios!
