Low Morals at NYT

Oops. I meant to write, “Low morale at NYT.”

DC: The New York Times is set to undergo another round of buyouts in the coming weeks, demoralizing journalists and creating a deep unease in the publication’s newsroom, according to Vanity Fair.

“The mood at the paper is poisonous in a way I’ve never seen it in the past 15 years,” one editor told Vanity Fair’s Mike Pompeo. “Every buyout is tense, but there’s something really demoralizing about this one that’s been worse than any before.”

  1. Without the Obamaphone program, New Mexican Times’s owner Carlos Slim stands to lose billions this year. There’s also his share of the wall he’ll have to pony up.

  2. You mean that when you do a lousy job and run out of money you have a right to be demoralized when they fire you! Hell sakes, we the public have been demoralized for years due to their biased, crappy, one sided, idiotic and stupid so-called journalism! Good riddance to bad rubbish!

  3. from the linked article:

    The buyouts have also conjured concerns over the “the puzzling lack of African-Americans in the management ranks at the Times under [first black Executive Editor] Dean [Baquet],” one source told Vanity Fair. News of prominent black editor LaSharah Bunting taking a buyout comes on the heels of departures by illustrious black journalists Lydia Polgreen, Dana Canedy and Simone Oliver.

    So already hired black journalists, deciding, when offered, to take the money and run, is racist?

  4. I blame their demise mostly on the Clintons. The NYTs did all they could to support them and tear apart the Clinton adversaries. How many people are going to commit Arkansicide for the Clintons? How many businesses are going to file for bankruptcy because of the Clintons? How many people are going to swindled out of millions for the Clintons?

  5. Do you ever read the NYTimes?
    I get the Sunday NYTimes*, and any claim they make that their news articles are not biased, that there is a Chinese firewall between the editorial pages and the news is complete bullshit.
    For instance, last week there was a three page in depth article on what went wrong in Iraq, that Iran has essentially taken over Iraq. Know what is missing in the article? There is not one mention of false messiah Barack Obama and his premature withdrawal of the troops.
    Pretty much every singe page of that paper is dripping with biased presentation- not just the editorial pages.

    * I signed up for one of their real cheap 13 week deals, then canceled after 13 weeks, but they haven’t stopped deliveries. I get the Sunday NYTimes for free.

    To be fair (and balanced), they try to lean more right on the job, than anyone they know. (Without being offensive to the people they actually know, of curse.)

  7. I don’t think you can demoralize the immoral.

    It’s sad really, where are all the dead fish going to go? What will manufacturers use for packing material? What will birds shit on (h/t to Anonymous)? What will bums, (and ex-employees) sleep under?

    I refuse to click on stories that are linked to that piece of garbage, and if I accidentally do, I close the link asap.

    Good riddance to all the fiction writers of the NYT.
