No matter how much they gaslight, the news media isn’t immune from economic reality. Don’t tell the employees of those outlets that, though. The same people who have been preaching all year that the economy is fine couldn’t fathom that the very policies they’ve supported might end up costing them their jobs.
That’s what made the chaos that broke out at The Washington Post on Wednesday so ironic, and of course, so hilarious. Executives of the nation’s second-largest newspaper, facing growing financial headwinds, held an all-staff town hall to announce that layoffs are coming. What followed was absolute gold.
Can anyone figure out why so many of them are still wearing masks? That might be the perfect metaphor for why the Post is failing. But I digress. You hear one woman arguing with the executive about the meeting not being a “grieving session” while another man demands to know how their jobs will be protected. Later in the clip, another lady screams about being disrespected while the whole room erupts in turmoil. It’s absolutely glorious when you consider these are some of the most entitled, pretentious people on the planet who have never cared one iota about blue-collar workers losing their jobs.
I hate to break it to them, but the whole point of layoffs is that their jobs aren’t going to be protected. They chose to do their jobs as partisan hacks, running off subscribers and not putting the paper on a sustainable path. These are those chickens coming home to roost, and it couldn’t be happening to a better bunch of people.
Damn. Reading this proves these people really are in a world of their own. Twitter people same way. Like somebody owes them a living. Maybe they’ll grow up now?? Just maybe?
Even though its a bad time to lose your job, these people lost the right to be called “journalists” a LONG time ago….
“mouthpieces” for the democrats were all they were (and I used to read the Post EVERYDAY) and whatever the latest whack idea from the worthless liberal establishment was, i.e., “men CAN get pregnant” or “biden got 81 MILLION votes” and things like “the economy is growing” and “inflation is only in your minds because it’s not really a problem”, and one of the best —“biden is KILLING it as President and will go down as one of the best!”..
It’s really bad that their false attempts at real journalism is going to take down the printers, copy editors, and others that will have to take the hit for their liberal “say anything and insist anything else is lies and disinformation” BS. They lost readership FOR A REASON.
You cannot continually tell the American reader that the sky is really green and expect them to stand by you forever.
But democrats (the dumbest of the dumb) continually give it their best…..
Anyone who can lend me a box or two of tissues? I’m all cried put over this. /s
