Turmoil at the Sacramento Bee?

David Barton, a former columnist and feature writer at the Sacramento Bee, says his contacts from inside the Bee are telling him things are getting really bad. The departure of Rick Rodriguez several weeks ago has sent morale into a tailspin.  Barton's description:

From what I hear, people over there are freaked-out, and I feel for them. If they aren't freaked out, it's because they've got retirement safely in their sights. They were counting the months and years till retirement when I was there.
