It’s a good start. America will be better off when WaPo is just an uncomfortable part Of US history. They are progressive propagandists who hate America so the sooner they fail completely and totally the better off this country will be. Fuck every last one of them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

When credibility is your stock in trade and you sacrifice it for Leftist deception, this is the result. No one believed Pravda either. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

The plan is to balance a $100,000,000 loss by firing 240 people? That means, on average, each makes $416k per year. I think I found the problem. People getting paid way too much. People making bad business decisions. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

WP has zero credibility except to the echo chamber and that's dwindling daily. Louisville Courier-Journal is my local rag and it is terrible - woke as hell with mostly semi-illiterate reporters. For the last few years they (Gannett owns CJ) have offered a digital subscription trial for $1.00 for 6 months - the catch is they have your credit card and if you fail to cancel your trial sub it auto goes to full price of about $15 per month. Supposed to only be a promotion for new subscribers. I play their game and go for a sub starting in May. That gives Derby coverage and goes thru baseball season and UofL football. I recently cancelled but am getting daily offers begging me to come back for the same $1 for 6 months. Gannett know what their product is worth. ________________________ God spelled backwards is dog | |||

The Courier sealed their own doom with their leftist bullshit. They fully supported the downtown rioting and attacks. One of their own was shot dead by the trash during the mayhem. Another of their darlings tried to shoot the current Mayor during the campaign season. I had multiple email contacts with Gerth and Green to call them out on their lies and all they could do is resort to the usual name calling via virtue signaling buzzwords. Very limited brain power going on there. I assume most of the newspapers employ the same level of mind power. I still enjoy sitting with a real newspaper. The Epoch Times has lately filled that roll but I miss see local interest stories. “That’s what.” - She | |||

It’s kinda like that old joke about farming. You know how to make a million dollars farming? Spend three million. | |||

To be fair, salary is only a portion of what an employee costs. Some rules of thumb say that the true cost of an employee is 2.5 to 3X their direct compensation. Using the 3X number, that brings the direct compensation to about $138K, which actually may be realistic given the cost of living in the DC area. So the 240 headcount might be based in some sort of reality. Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet. - Dave Barry "Never go through life saying 'I should have'..." - quote from the 9/11 Boatlift Story (thanks, sdy for posting it) | |||

Its a charity at this point, except Bezos can't deduct it. But why would he care? He just spent 500 million on a sailboat. | |||
