One down, more to follow

By noon on Monday, Bavaria Bierhaus, a downtown bar on Stone Street, a short walk from the offices of the New York Daily News at 4 New York Plaza, was already filling up with day-drinkers who had just been fired from the century-old tabloid, along with a few colleagues who have managed—at least for the moment—to hold onto their jobs.
“It’s all a blur right now,” said a staffer who narrowly avoided being axed in what colleagues variously described as “a massacre” and “a bloodbath.”

“It will be a thin, all-digital operation. Competing with the New York Post is over. Competing with the New York Times is over. That was our pride and joy. That’s in the past”

Whenever one door closes, another one opens. I don't wish harm on anybody, but it's hard for me to empathize for people who spend their lives lying and twisting and spinning under the FAKE guise of objectivity in order to advance their own political agenda. So much so they're actually destroying a democracy they're supposed to be protecting.

The cover pages of the New York Daily News can actually double down as a comic book cover, maybe they should move in that direction, Maybe that's their calling.

Our entire media needs to be destroyed and rebuilt. We need honest and objective reporting, we need an intelligent conversation about real issues, WE NEED THE TRUTH, the democratic propaganda machine has proven they're not worthy and not capable of such. They're dividing us, and they're dumbing down America.

Let them all fail, somebody will fill the void and it can only be an improvement

Guessing honest and objective reporting about real issues ain't gonna do much for the big 3 cable networks ratings. The networks discovered that verbal sparring matches of no substance generate a lot more eyeballs, going back to the William Buckley/Gore Vidal cage matches in the 1960's.

If people wanted to steelman their opinions/beliefs and educate themselves about the issues, there's never been a better time in human history to do so thanks to modern technology.

Not just talking about politics either, pretty much every subject you can gain a greater understanding/knowledge for thanks to modern democratization of information.

I check the ratings for certain sporting events here and there on Showbuzzdaily.com and I'll see the cable news ratings. FOX, MSNBC are always crushing it with 2-3mill people watching their shows, CNN lags behind (probably because they're just a less ideologically committed MSNBC)

The sad truth is people like this shit and that's a big reason why it gets served up. If the National Review had a TV network like 63 people would watch. (or on a lighter note if a sports network came out and just covered the actual game and didn't attach soap opera narratives to it)

I feel the same, Willie.

I wouldn’t wish career destruction on anyone, except for assholes who made it their career to destroy the livelihoods of others by spreading bullshit propaganda. Dimocrap journalists are not journalists, they are basically activists. If Fox News began laying people off, these same activists would be cheering and celebrating.

So, fuck them.

depressing, but true, which makes it more depressing
