This is the good news of the day. The progressive cancer rottina away the City States is killing the voice that is one of America's greatest enemies.

Caucuses with in a Union....... who could'a think it?

[null and void]

They laid off the least competent?

Shame on them!

[mfish13]

It is just a bunch of Libs. Goodbye

[Paladin2]

Release the 0bama video.

[armourenthusiast]

They need to learn how to code, racistly.

[dfwgator]

Yep, just a bunch of people who went to J-School to “Change the World”, instead of just reporting the news.

[ChessExpert]

I would be more upset if a cigarette plant were suffering layoffs.

[Ge0ffrey]

The loony inmates are trying to run the asylum.

[ComputerGuy]

They kept too many white boys.

[BBB333]

A very diverse group of folks need to learn to CODE!

[Bernard]

The most surprising item in this story is that the Los Angeles Times is still in business.

The 2nd most surprising item in this story is that they only have to lay off 20% of the staff. Sounds like good times compared to the rest of the paper publishing business. Maybe the layoffees can go to work for Sports Illustrated.

[dfwgator]

Not anymore, AI is going to get rid of all the coding jobs.

[systemjim]

***Contreras said the cuts will dramatically hurt the quality of the Los Angeles paper.***

Don’t make me laugh!

[Yogafist]

What percentage of the people being laid off are Americans?

[Hiddigeigei]

"They laid off the least competent? Shame on them!"

They should just fire all the whites. Who could object to that? Well, maybe just white males.

[The Duke]

Then they can learn how to query AI, which is an art in itself.

[dfwgator]

True, but it certainly won’t take nearly as many coders as before.

[cgbg]

“Caucuses within the Los Angeles Times Guild designed to represent diverse communities”

Every last one of them should be fired.

[Ex-Con777]

They should have made the union pick who gets laid off. In reality they probably did by having a seniority based, last-in/first-out policy.

EC

[mewzilla]

They weren’t diverse ideologically, were they.

Note to the rocket scientists layed off: How many presstitutes do you think Deep State needs?

If you want jobs in the press, you shouldn’t have worked to eliminate the free press.
