I'm Not Helping Newspapers

Because I'm NOT BUYING THEM ANYMORE!!

Just a shit-sheet full of lies, so why bother with AmeriKa's MSM?

"Los Angeles Editor Ousted After Resisting Job Cuts" by RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA

The top editor of The Los Angeles Times has been forced out for resisting newsroom budget cuts, executives at the paper said Sunday, marking the fourth time in less than three years that the highest-ranking editor or the publisher has left for that reason.

The removal of the editor, James E. O’Shea, by the publisher, David D. Hiller, mirrors the odd spectacle of a little more than a year ago, when the previous publisher, Jeffrey M. Johnson, was fired for refusing to eliminate newsroom jobs as directed by the paper’s owner, the Tribune Company. In each case, a longtime Tribune executive was expected to rein in costs at the paper, but instead sided with the newsroom and lost his job for it.

The departure of Mr. O’Shea appears to contradict statements by Samuel Zell, the Chicago real estate magnate who took over the company last month and is now its chairman and chief executive. Mr. Zell has criticized the previous regime of the financially troubled company for trying to improve the bottom line by cutting costs, and he has said that the path to profit lies in finding new revenue, not paring costs.

Calls to Mr. O’Shea, Mr. Hiller and a spokeswoman for Mr. Zell were not returned. A Tribune spokesman referred inquiries to Nancy Sullivan, a spokeswoman for The Times, who said, “I don’t have any comment for you.”

Officials at The Times said Mr. Hiller had ordered a $4 million cut in the newsroom budget. Some said he specifically sought to cut expenses related to covering the presidential campaign, a time when such expenses usually spike. Some editors and reporters said that Mr. Hiller told them in a meeting in November that he wanted to reduce staff somewhat by the end of 2008.

The shake-up came as a surprise to newsroom employees at The Times, several of whom said late last week that they had not heard about a clash between the editor and the publisher and did not have any indication that Mr. O’Shea’s job was threatened.

People at The Times said they did not know whether Mr. Hiller was acting on orders from company headquarters or on his own initiative; Mr. Zell has said he would allow each of the Tribune properties greater autonomy.

The Times had a newsroom staff of more than 1,100 people at the start of this decade, but the number has declined to below 900, officials say. Its weekday circulation has dropped to about 800,000, from 1.1 million.

And why YOU are HERE, reader!


Tribune, whose flagship is The Chicago Tribune, bought the Times Mirror Company in 2000, acquiring its crown jewel, The Los Angeles Times, one of the nation’s largest newspapers and long regarded as one of the best.

Well, NOT ANYMORE! Every AmeriKan "newspaper" is now DOGSHIT!!!!!


The $8 billion price was widely seen as inflated, particularly after recession struck the following year and newspaper ad revenues began a long decline.

The relationship between the Los Angeles and Chicago offices has been troubled for much of the time since then. Chicago has demanded cost savings and higher profit — officials at The Times say the paper still makes a healthy profit, despite its troubles — and the view in Los Angeles has been that the new owners are slowly killing an asset they neither value nor understand.

So the PROPAGANDA INSTRUMENT is STILL MAKING MONEY, huh?

Why the SHIT SHEETS will ALWAYS BE on the corner store rack!

But I NEVER PURCHASE ANYMORE!!!!


Tribune first brought in two well-regarded editors from outside, John S. Carroll and Dean P. Baquet, to run The Times. But after rounds of job cuts and demands for more, Mr. Carroll quit in 2005, and Mr. Baquet rose to the top spot.

In late 2006, Mr. Johnson, the publisher, was fired along with Mr. Baquet for refusing to carry out more cuts. Mr. Baquet then rejoined The New York Times, which he had left in 2000 for the Los Angeles paper, as the Washington bureau chief and an assistant managing editor.

With Mr. Baquet gone, Mr. O’Shea, the managing editor of The Chicago Tribune, went to Los Angeles to run the newsroom.

Adding to the turmoil of the last few years has been the departure of two editors of The Times’ editorial page, Michael Kinsley and Andres Martinez, after short tenures.

It was not clear Sunday whether Mr. O’Shea’s successor would come from within The Times, or when his departure took place.

Tribune, one of the nation’s largest media companies, also owns Newsday, The Baltimore Sun and other newspapers, as well as two dozen television stations, the Chicago Cubs baseball team and other properties.

Yup, AmeriKa's MSM is a CORPORATE CONGLOMERATE!!

But they wouldn't PUSH an AGENDA or anything!

Pfffffffttttt!!!!!!


Yeah, I'M DONE with AmeriKa's MSM!

I will NEVER PURCHASE the New York Times again.

EVER!!!!!!!!


But as newspapers endure tough times, Tribune’s papers have suffered even more than the industry as a whole. Through the first three quarters of last year, its profit was 53 percent below the same period a year earlier.

But they STILL MADE MONEY, right?

While Americans are denied health care and foreclosed upon, and veterans sleep in our streets!


Newspapers generally have been cutting staff in recent years
, especially those in California, which have been hit hard by the downturn in real estate and, in turn, real estate advertising."

That's because AmeriKan "newspapers" are nothing more than SHIT-SHOVELERS of STATE PROPAGANDA!!!!!

That's why NO ONE READS THEIR LIES ANYMORE!!!

And I was a DECADES-LONG PURCHASER!!!

In other words, a RELIABLE CUSTOMER!

Well, NO LONGER!

And after previewing the War Dailies online, there is no way I am posting their propaganda.

It is so transparently biased toward Zionist Israel, it literally makes me physically ill.

And if you don't buy that line of reasoning, then just check out the coverage (or lack of) that they give Ron Paul.

Then tell me AmeriKa's fucking MSM War Dailies are objective, unbiased "news" organizations.

Case fucking CLOSED, readers!

Update: I've done my preview, and you will find no other MSM War Daily articles here today.

The stuff I found on the Globe and Times websites was sickening, readers.

I'm so tired of Zionist propaganda being shoveled at the American public as "news," readers.

And to think, a month ago I still thought the shit rags were worth purchasing.

The propaganda is so transparent these days, it hurts!

Topping it all off is the fact that the Zionist Technocrati has stopped picking up and updating my posts.

Well, FUCK THEM anyway!

You are here reading, and THANK YOU, blog surfers!!
