The mainstream media world has been rocked by layoffs this week. As we reported, the Los Angeles Times laid off 115 employees. Business Insider CEO Barbara Peng this week announced that the company is laying off 8 percent. of its staff. We just learned a couple of hours ago that Forbes announced layoffs Thursday.
Our current economic environment? Do you mean Bidenomics?
The Los Angeles Times employees elicited the least sympathy. They even laid off the only Latina on the opinion desk, whose opinion of then-gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder was that he had a “white supremacist worldview” which made him a “real threat to communities of color.”
The Los Angeles Times’ Noah Goldberg kept his job, but vent viral with his photo of an empty newsroom.
Yeah, that sounds about right. Good reporting.
The Los Angeles Times didn’t offer anything we couldn’t already get from the stenographers at the Washington Post and the New York Times. Speaking of the Washington Post, it lost $100 million last year and lost over half of its online engagement by the end of 2023.
If the people wanted propaganda you’d all still have jobs.
