For 8.45 an hour, and as a part time "Inserter" (No jokes please)with McClatchy show me how to do this?


Watching Associated Press reports evolve, or as is all too often the case, devolve, can be a revealing exercise.

Example: What happened between 8 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. Saturday that would have caused the Associated Press and writer Nancy Benac to water down the headline and opening paragraphs of their story about the Obama-Gates-Crowley situation from this....

OBAMA RUSHES TO QUELL RACIAL UPROAR HE HELPED FIRE

.... to this?

OBAMA MOVES TO DAMPEN UPROAR OVER COMMENT ON RACE

Like Dear Leader, even for AP the truth sneaks out from time to time....

Then the cock roaches quickly scurry right back to the party lie of...“This is classic Obama, the way he is bringing people together over this issue”

=================
Insert Machines getting too expensive to run? LOL, this is how they did it in the old days. They'd hire teenagers and ex cons for a pittance + .25 cents per 100 after your quota. Must be able to lift 30lbs really means, must be able to lift, carry and stack 30lb bundles hundreds of times per hour. You'll work like a slave to get your quota which is set to take the average individual the entire run to meet.

Maybe 1 in every 10 got fast enough to actually make an almost fair amount of money. It is probably the worst job that anyone ever had working for a newspaper.
