Whoop-de-do. Another loser will be hired (what talented manager would take this job?) and he/she will be gone in a year.

See, this is the problem. Instead of committing to a fair and objective watchdog of the highest journalistic standards, fair and impartial to all parties, they have become a bunch of drug and alcohol addicted pundits with a Socialist/Marxist agenda.

A bunch of hopped up leftists from top to bottom.

It would seem to me, what with advertising in the toilet, they could combine this job with a custodian's job.

The VP of Advertising/Third Floor Custodian could look for lost revenues while cleaning toilets at the same time.

1:30... why do you come up with that kind of crap? You don't know me or know anything about me. Do you just have an overwhelming need to be an asshole or is assholism a condition you were born with?

I don't work for McClatchy and never have. I have a love for real journalism and hate seeing it destroyed.
