This blog is mainly about the spectacular train wreck at The Sacramento Bee and its parent company, the McClatchy Company. But I also post about current events, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, politics, anything else that grabs my attention. Take a look around this blog, hope you enjoy it.

BussMachine linked to: http://tinyurl.com/839wjp It has a graphic of a devil with large scissors in hand. --------------- Get rid off all the editors by grzegorz.piechota Excerpts: Do we need them any more in the digital age? Of course, no! Everybody hates editors and would feel a relief if they all go to hell.
Reporters hate - because editors sit the whole days at the office and do nothing but ask stupid questions to hard-working people on the beat.
Readers hate editors - because everybody can be a journalist now, but it is still harder to be an editor with a top-down authority! ---------- Actually, there are some very thoughtful points made once the writer gets down to business.
I once worked for McClatchy @ THE NEWS TRIBUNE in Tacoma Wash. I worked their from april of 88 to may of 2001. in that time so many games were played out at the paper i just quite. Now i wonder how my retirement plan with McClatchy is going to do after they go under. I guess the money will be all gone for the retirement also.

For some reason I couldn't open the TinyUrl link. But I located the article here.
Good points to ponder.

Quasa,
I hope you weren't a writer for the paper.
He writes as well as those who remain behind.
