Other mcclatchy papers have already gone through hours reduction, other papers where they are actually profitable but are paying the price for poorly managed sites like Miami.<br /><br />Mcclatchy is hands down the worse company i have ever worked for and i pray every day to be one of the lucky ones that get offered a buy out. <br /><br />With that said, what hell is it with 1:26? What does that have to do with this header?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-26016297943459782952009-12-02T14:00:03.577-08:002009-12-02T14:00:03.577-08:00Don't worry, Obama will buy a copy of the news...Don't worry, Obama will buy a copy of the newspaper and save all of their jobs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-17800611094352886432009-12-02T13:26:12.797-08:002009-12-02T13:26:12.797-08:00The fix is in, liberal media selling out for pot o...The fix is in, liberal media selling out for pot of government gold (Washington Examiner)<br /><br />Watching liberal journalists desperate for a government bailout as they prostrate themselves before Congress can be so confusing: <br /><br />Should we be embarrassed as these media representatives of the "best and brightest" beg for official handouts while proclaiming their devotion to independent journalism? <br /><br />Or should we laugh at the irony of what is left of a once-proud liberal media establishment choosing to become wards of the very state they so vigorously promoted for the past several decades? <br /><br />Speaking as somebody who has made his living reporting and analyzing the news for more than two decades, I tend towards the embarrassment option. <br /><br />In any case, it's clear that the fix is in and all that is left now is for the liberal journalists and their new masters in government to complete their kabuki dance enroute to congressional approval and presidential signature on a massive package of aid for newspapers and broadcasters. <br /><br />You've heard of "too big to fail." Now it's "we're too important to fail, so cough it up, suckers." <br /><br />Hey, when you can't produce a product enough people are willing to pay for to keep you in business, President Obama and the congressional Democrats are happy to bail you out, you've been helping each other for a long time anyway, etc. etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-59575603532300962282009-12-02T13:23:05.936-08:002009-12-02T13:23:05.936-08:00At least this time, the pay cut is in the form of ...At least this time, the pay cut is in the form of fewer hours rather than the same amount of hours for smaller pay. More free time to spend fewer dollars.
