As they lay off 40% of their staff…

…the press release says that the Washington Times is doing this to continue The Washington Times’ “…transformation into a 21st century media company and reinforces its mission to provide an independent, alternative voice in the nation’s capital.”

Which I guess is shorthand for the Death of the Media comes to Wingnuttia, and 21st century media is basically everything is outsourced or done for free, and screw the unions!

    This has been a long time coming. The Moonies have propped that paper up since its inception, and has always been a creepy place to work. A friend of mine used to be a copy editor and he told me some interesting stories about walking in on religious ceremonies unexpectedly during his early shift…

    Bruce: I was thinking along the same lines. The Moonies’ money must be running dry.
