Hint....They weren’t journalists. They were content influencers serving others in power. This is the left eating their own.
They should learn to code.
They’re not journalists, just purveyors of propaganda.
Because the news-buying public have completely lost trust in all “news” organizations, who have proven themselves repeatedly to be liars and propagandists rather than purveyors of honest reporting. Actions have consequences...
You mean real JOURNALIST-type journalists? That’s impressive! They might have high resale values! Of course,the odds are excellent that they are fakes.
According to Pew, in 2022 there were around 85,000 people employed as journalists and editorial personnel in the US.
The current layoffs are just a drop in the bucket.
How many “journalists” do you need to copy the DNC press releases?
“More than 500 journalists were laid off in January”
well, that’s a good start ...
So?
We have thousands more left wing activist journalists where those came from. :)
Good month. Let’s see if we can break that record next month.
Oh and......learn to code.
And now they are losing financial viability.
Ba Bye!
VICTORY! So sweet.
