Sacramento Bee hiring!

The Sacramento Bee is looking for an Editorial Page editor. (After yesterday's snafu, I'd agree it's time for a change.)

Here's the description:
The Sacramento Bee seeks an Editorial Page Editor to lead the print and online opinion pages of California's state capital daily toward increased relevance in a new era of commentary and community debate. The Bee’s opinion pages have established a national reputation for excellence and a statewide reputation for leadership. Top candidates will be known for demonstrated initiative and innovation as well as for journalistic vision and a track record of excellence; key attributes will include a knowledge of issues, the ability to develop and manage talent and fundamental strengths in writing, editing and community interaction. To apply, send cover letter, resume and writing samples by May 25, 2009 to: resumes@sacbee.com or Deborah Ferreter Employment Specialist The Sacramento Bee P.O. Box 15779 Sacramento, CA 95852

Well, they can offer some ideological balance by hiring a right-of-center candidate to somewhat offset the Radical Moonbats that inhabit there now.

If you non radical moonbats paid attention you'd realize this opening is for Holwerk's replacement.

More balance is sorely needed. The lefty whackjobs who write opinion are comically inept when it comes to judging the pulse of their readership. The paper has suffered in the PR realm from its misfiring op-ed idiots.

Why change now. They are so on target. Here is the list of SACBEE recommendations/endorsements for the Tuesday May 19th election.....and how the "REAL" people actually voted:

Proposition BEE rec Actual vote
1A Yes NO (65.9%)
1B No NO (62.6%)
1C Yes NO (64.6%
1D Yes NO (65.8%)
1E Yes NO (66.4%)
1F Yes YES(73.95)

But we understand they are more knowledgeable and insightful than the poor common voters.

Nothing like election endorsements from a comic book and Mad Magazine combined!!

Will you all please advertise in their obituary listings. Someone is dead.

***The lefty whackjobs who write opinion***

Translation: I don't agree with their editorials, so they should only write what I like. Nobody has the right to say something I don't agree with. The only people who have the right to express opinions publically are Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, Coulter, Malkin, and other right-wing whackjobs.

I guess Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, Coulter and Malkin are closer to 65% of California's electorate than the Obamababoon and the Marxist, Leftist Drivel, Moonbat Al-Queda, Loving nutjobs at the Bee.

After slamming California voters for refusing higher taxes, they slam our intelligence with garbage wording like the above. Only the hopeless would bother to even read the leftist propaganda of the Bee. Just look how their liberal news has helped ruin a once great state. Another blue state on the verge of bankruptcy. Fools asking us to bail them out of years of overspending, and allowing Democrats to run them into the ground. Some of the requirements should be honest and unbiased reporting, but that is very secondary to their liberal agenda mission. People and businesses are leaveing the state; can you blame them?

***but that is very secondary to their liberal agenda mission.***

Translation: I don't agree with the way they cover news, so they should only cover what I want covered and how I want it covered. I don't want to read things I don't agree with. I only want news covered from a right-wing perspective, like Faux News does nationally.

Translation: I do this every day for the past several weeks and I don't realize it's stale and old and I don't persuade people that the media is run by nutjob Marxists,

Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, Coulter, Malkin, make it very clear that they are politically conservative. They don’t try to fool people about that. The Bee would have to declare their liberal bias, to be even with their honesty. Everyone knows the Bee is liberal, they just don’t have the honesty to admit it. The Bee needs to stand up and admit the bankrupt conditions they have helped bring to California, but don’t hold your breath. The Sacbee is beneath contempt,IMO.

The teachers' and state workers'
unions have help ruin CA. The audacity to request more money for a bunch of selfish employees demonstrating their lack of knowledge about state finances, and disrespect for taxpayers. The fact that these so-called teachers even come near children is scary. When teachers joined the corrupt unions, their respect went down the drain, and it is not coming back.

A conservative, even a moderate staff voice on the op-ed pages would greatly improve the SacBee's credibility. It's been all leftwing, leaving the perception that the entire newspaper is biased.

As long as the MNI papers are just echoes of the loony left like the Daily Kos why would anyone pay to read their content. Anyone can get that whacked out, America hating, socialist drivel for free.

Let me help you:
Translation, the morons at the Bee screwed the pooch.

Then explain how Obama won 61% of the vote in California. Oh that's right it was the liberal media that got him elected. The same liberal media that no one pays any attention to anymore.

Surely you jest, CA is well on their way to Socialism. Of course they would vote for their great (½) white hope to finish the job. I just don’t want them getting any of my money for their total stupidity.

Nice of you to admit to that and that there's a liberal media.

****2:16 AKA Goebbels fanatic, loser, child molester POS.*****

I'm pretty sure that child molestors, murderers and rapists voted at least 99% for the Obambaboon. We all know that the Obamababoon's half-brother is a child molestor and that it runs in the family.

....and I hear the Modesto Bee is, too. After laying off numerous people in Advertising, they are now posting an opening for an Outside Sales Rep. Found the posting/job description on Career Builder. What a bunch of two-faced maggots.

Any position vacated after the last round of layoffs/buyouts will be rehired. That's been the word at the 3 Bees, and that's what these hires represent.
