I am of the opinion that people, for lack of a better phrase, who celebrate others losing their jobs are themselves unhappy with their unfulfilled lives.

Do you people actually think that if McCain won the election that newspapers would not be in the situation that they're in or our economy would be sizzlin' right now? If so, you are more brainwashed than I actually thought you were.

This is because your thought process is simplistic, abstract and juvenile.

Also because you are incapable of independently forming your own opinions and base them on childish talking points that you have picked up over time.

You also demonstrate remarkable patterns indicating anti-social personality disorder with uncontrollable mood swings often found in those diagnosed with Bipolar disorder.

The opinion in 8:35, although stupid and devoid of any real substance, must be from one of the wing nut right-wingers that are so prevelent on this site.

I'd say 8:35 was describing his/herself, and right wingers in general.

Gannett Blog reports that just over 1,200 jobs have been cut this week.

The 10:07am post is further evidence that the right wingnuts think of themselves as the superior beings while hoping to enact old Jim Crow laws.

This is yet another reason your party is in shambles. You can't decide between a known cheating husband from Atlanta or a glasses wearing bimbo from Alaska as your next leader. Either way, it's nice to see your party continue to go down in flames.

Discussing the distressed state of the MSM is not the celebration of others losing their jobs. It is discussing the facts of the print media’s dire situation, and opinions on how they got there. Many people have realized the media became the mouthpiece of the Democrats this past election. Finally, newspapers are paying the piper for becoming corrupt, what’s so difficult to understand about that?

Jim Crow laws were a Democrat construct removed by Republicans. How unfortunate that your public education fails you so miserably.

Liberals are always inordinately proud of passing sophomore history. It's a shame really to have the high point of your life occur so early.
