Was it everyone who reported on Kamala in 2021 as border czar?

[mikelets456]

But they reported the economy was great…confused.

That seems like a lot of people for what they do. How can they compete with individuals and small groups who are doing pretty much the same thing?

10% of their staff is probably half the number sitting around watching porn at any one time.

Axios CEO Jim VandeHei

Jim Vandelay? The one who didn’t hire George to sell latex?

With the election coming up they will need fewer writers.

Just reprint the old narrative over and over.

[Political Junkie Too]

As I've written before for people who do not know the origins of Axios and Politico:

Politico was founded in 2007 by two Washington Post employees:

• John F. Harris, former National Politics Editor
• Jim VandeHei, former national political reporter

Together with former banker and then-CEO of Albritton Communications Robert Albritton (who owned several ABC-affiliated television stations in Washington, D.C.), they founded Politico as a internet-based immediate news outlet, with Harris as the Editor-in-Chief and VendeHei as the Executive Editor. Politico initially positioned itself as a neutral news source but quickly reverted to its Washington Post roots by hiring Michael Kinsley and Joe Scarborough as opinion writers. They eventually hired Susan Glasser from The New Yorker to be their opinion editor.

At some point Politico hired Mike Allen, who was a journalist for The New York Times and Time Magazine. Allen was hired to write a daily email newsletter for Politico.

In 2016, VandenHei and Allen left Politico to start Axios. Axios was established to be a digital short-form news source that focused on industry-specific stories. I think of it as a USA Today for Politico.

So, you can see that Politico is simply a front for the writers of The Washington Post, The New York Times, New Yorker, Time, MSNBC, Los Angeles Times, Slate, etc. Axios publishes a story or poll, then Politico writes a full piece on it, then the NYT and WaPo report that Politico and Axios said so and such... and then the rest of the LAAP-dog media report the NYT story. That's how the left gets its message into the mainstream subconscious.

This is the Democrat implementation of what the Clinton White House described as the "Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce" in a secret 1995 memo to describe the rise of the alternative right-wing media, or what Hillary Clinton called it, "the vast right-wing conspiracy." The full memo is here.

BREAKING: Axios lays off 10% of total staff

Maybe they can learn to code?

Liberal company? I hope they hurt. Way past time we made *THEM* feel the pain of their own ideology.

[plain talk]

“We’re eliminating around 50 positions”

50 positions. By all means that warrants a “BREAKING” in the headline.

[Eleutheria5]

What does this story mean? Nothing.

Why is it important to you? It isn’t.

[Zathras]

How hard is it to simply reprint DNC talking points?
AI can easily take the entire staff.

[Sam Gamgee]

Got to love to see the old media crash and burn.

Axios lays off 10% of total staff

Not enough.

About 50% of 'em should be laid off, and 50% of 'em Terminated.
