Laid off McClatchy employee starts a blog

Here's a new blog worth a look. Chad Dryden got laid off from The Idaho Statesman in the latest round, and started a blog. He wants to keep his writing skills up, network with other unemployed workers, and, hopefully land a new job. Click here to see his blog.

Either he has a good agent or he's good at self promotion: he's already been on local TV.

Sir (Dear MNI watch blog owner),

First, you are more than magnanimous with your salute to Les, and the link to this new blog.

But although the new blog is peppy and full of energy, I perused it looking for any admissions of bias from a reflective ex-MNI employee.

Sadly, none was found.

Maybe it’s like the lokeman-12 step. They don’t and can’t get it till they hit bottom, fighting and kicking and screaming all the way?

Well, OK. Though the blog owner, like Les, sounds like a good guy, I’ll continue to boycott the media until they start printing the news.

But thanks for the link!

Well, he picked the right name for his blog.

Nothing of any real relevance over there.

Just the bad writing of some self important guy.

Yeah, nary a word about Rhonda Lokeman OR Obama. And he calls himself a reporter.
