Washington Post Set to Lay Off Hundreds of Employees
They'll be completely closing down "almost the entire" sports desk. Which struck me as strange -- isn't sports a low-cost but popular section of the paper?
I guess there are now so many internet sports outlets that no one cares about what a stinky old liberal thought about the latest "Commanders" game.The Washington Post announced on Wednesday that it is laying off hundreds of its employees, which marks one of the newspaper's deepest workforce cuts in its history.Papers like the NY Times and Washington Post were criticized for years for not sufficiently covering the cities in which they were based. All they cared about was national politics. I guess the Washington Post is now acknowledging they don't really cover Washington so they'll save a buck by ending the pretense that they do. But maybe I'm reading this wrong. Ed Morrissey thinks they're restructuring in the exact opposite direction, focusing more on local coverage and ending the competition with the NY Times to be the national liberal daily "news" paper. Maybe I missed something. The paper will also be drastically chopping its budget for international reporting. As opposed to sports, international coverage is very expensive. Even when they rely almost exclusively on foreign "stringers" who are not-so-secretly part of the Hamas terrorist organization. The cuts are required because the #Resistance leftists at the Post have shed one half of the former audience, and the paper loses almost $100 million a year. That's practically Stephen Colbert level losses!
This development is part of a broader trend as legacy media outlets are rapidly losing viewers and readers. From CNN:
Executive Editor Matt Murray and human resources chief Wayne Connell sent an email to staffers Wednesday morning instructing employees to "stay home today" but attend an 8:30 a.m. ET meeting via Zoom during which the Washington Post's leadership will announce "significant actions across the company." Those actions include shutting down almost the entire Sports section, closing the Books section and cancelling the daily Post Reports podcast, sources at the newspaper said. One of the most severe cuts comes in the form of a "restructuring" of the Post's Metro desk, which covers D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
... When Jeff Bezos first acquired The Washington Post in 2013, he expanded operations and invested heavily in the outlet. But recent years have seen drastic financial losses, a severe increase in subscriber cancellations, and a mass exodus of top talent.Ed Morrissey writes that the new leadership has been warning the #Resistance lefties at the paper that Winter Is Coming for two years:
Lewis warned in response that he wasn't going to stick with the plan that involved losing $77 million a year to float a vanity project for progressive activists:Part of this is just the fact that traditional media is entering the hospice phase. For whatever reason, people are just out of the habit of reading these legacy newspapers. (Or seeing movies in legacy theaters.) Another factor is that the specific politics being pushed by the Washington Post's #Resistance lefties. It's not that #Resistance leftist politics don't have a market. They do. One third of the country are, alas, woke communist psychopathic nihilists. You should be able to sell a paper appealing to this lunatic cohort. The trouble is, every media outlet, pretty much, panders to this same lunatic cohort. They're all reading from the same depraved Marxist prayer book. Plus, what #Resistance leftists are selling is not at all a difficult product to produce. They've shifted from reporting on news, which does take some time and effort, and which is something people will pay for, to just ranting endlessly that Bad Orange Man Is Getting More Orange and More Bad and shrieking the same six propaganda slogans forever. You don't need an organization that spends $300 million on salaries and rent to do this. Any deranged leftwing imbecile with a $500 camera can do this from their basement. And they're almost all doing it -- so what does any lefty need the lefty press for? The religion has just as many preachers as adherents. That's too many. Some will need to leave the poisonous church of Marxism and find work that's actually productive. I can't imagine what that might end up being, but I'm sure they must be good at something. Right? Right? Hello everyone! I got decent sleep, not great but decent, so I won't be whining as much today. I hope you're all doing great. I got my humidifier out of the garage and cleaned it but apparently it broke so I'm waiting for Amazon to send me my next one.
At one point Lewis was asked whether he was intentionally bringing in people who come from a different culture than the Post. "We are losing large amounts of money. Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. I can't sugarcoat it anymore," Lewis said. "So I've had to take decisive, urgent action to set us on a different path, sourcing talent that I have worked with that are the best of the best."

I sort of miss the movie theater thing, of course especially for certain kinds of movies. But the overall crap quality of movies (and the bizarre, sorry, departure into cartoon stuff suitable for teenagers as a new adult "genre" or something) drove me out many many years ago.
Legacy media of course has been whittled down by the lethal combo of changes in business/advertizing (web) models (esp. newspapers), advent of a shallow short-attention span demo, and final descent into crude propaganda vs. actual news.

Because the music ages quite well, there is still a good market for tribute bands once the originals are finally just too old. They play it well, and it is a great way to listen to live music versions of your songs. Classic rock is still one of the most streamed products in the music world. And vinyl, which is heavily classic rock, is the largest "PURCHASED" music, more than buying digital or CDs. Of course, most just stream now a days, but if you want to own it, you have to buy IT, not rent the stream.

Mission accomplished Jeff. Mission accomplished. It was making more profits before he decided to mess with reporting for his own personal benefit. They've lost countless subscribers since he took over and he's not getting them back by doing this.
Maybe they shouldn’t have chosen to turn into a fascist mouthpiece? The newspaper that brought down Nixon, turned into state propaganda and is now teetering. Sad.
What is he trying to achieve? He refuses to prop up the paper. He fucked with reporting and lost their most loyal subscribers (I'm on of them) and did nothing to bring them back. Did he buy it just to kill it?
He's doing what oligarchs do: protecting his interests. When Democrats had more power he was content to bash Republicans. Now that the pendulum of authoritarianism has swung the opposite direction he is doing the same. It's not a morally principled stance, it's a self-serving one.

I remember when Bezos was still a darling of the left a few years ago that some lefty academic published a paper that showed after Bezos bought the WaPo all negative stories about Amazon disappeared.
The left called him a fascist, a racist, and obviously a Republican plant (he was a life long leftist).
But I guess now its ok to make such claims since Bezos isn't supporting leftwing journalism as much as he used to

The readers among the left are like those on the right, an aging out demographic. Young people do not read by and large anymore and even seldom watch TV news. This has been going on for at least the last 40-50 years and thus content has moved to the internet and to video via streaming in particular.

While I understand the point about movies as it relates to most Hollywood garbage, there is a social aspect about going to the movies that is fun. A good, original movie, seen in a theater with friends and snacks and possibly dinner beforehand and more hangout time after, is a social experience, and the hope that you can have more of that without having blue-haired leftist toxin showed through your retinas for two hours is part of why movie theaters continue to exist. I still think Hollywood should be destroyed, but I hope solid independent films keep theaters in business.

I know it’s a joke, but coding requires a sense of cause and effect. Not necessarily logic—I’ve known many great programmers who I couldn’t consider logical. But they all would understand why the order of these lines matter:
$message = "Hello, World";
echo "<p>$message</p>";
Not understanding why those lines must be in that order is probably the biggest predictor of never being able to code, and that’s pretty much modern journalism, since at least Michael Crichton’s “wet streets cause rain” formulation of Gel-Mann Amnesia.
Back when a little coding helped non-coders do even basic writing on the Internet, I used to teach very, very basic courses. And I’d analogize those two lines to whether you would put the wall frames or the windows in first when building a house. Everyone understood why windows can’t attach to empty air; not everyone understood the analogy to those two lines of code.

Supposedly it made $1M just on Monday alone, and is going to expand to 200 more theaters! Good for Melania.
The left was crowing before its opening that no one will go see it so it's a flop. Now that's proven false, their new spin is that it will never make back its $40M price tag so it's a flop.
It was NEVER supposed to make huge money at the box office! Thats not the streaming model. Amazon bought it to be a draw on Prime.
Ask the Obamas and Netflix if their documentaries made back their deal that cost Netflix hundreds of millions. It never did. Thats now how the streaming game works. I'm just glad Amazon isn't as dismissive of theaters as Netflix is and is expanding it. Netflix keeps leaving a lot of good money on the table by not doing flashy theater releases.
At this point, Melania's documentary might be a better ROI than the Rings of Power and Wheel of Time series.

If you can stand it, I recommend reading Victor Navasky’s A Matter of Opinion. He talks about the business of journalism as just that, a responsibility that transcends the very policies he loudly supports. The sense of the anointed permeates the book; he’s not trying to hide it at all, or, if he is, he’s incompetent about it.
Much of the book is about convincing investors to part with their money no strings attached.

Welp...There's no accounting for taste.
We saw Iron Lung and I'd say it is definitely The Worst Movie of the Year.
And I expect it to hold that title throughout the rest of the year.
Overwrought crummy acting from the start. Lousy EFX. Lousy directing. Incoherent story.
Basically, it's TEMU Cthulhu as Jaws with the same ending.
Maybe...just maybe if you played the game, you'd get more out of it, but otherwise-
Just a big pile of cinematic poo.
If you really insist on watching it, wait till it streams. You'll lose nothing not seeing it on the big screen.

Women have always wanted the beauty and the beast story. A strong alpha male they can tame and change. So true fantasy. *dodges tomatoes*
But modern women have been groomed to believe that all men are scary. To choose the bear over the man. But they still want a man. So they are inventing a man-bear that feels soft yet strong. Like the Charmin bear.
None of this bodes well for the mental health of women.

One thing I want to point out is this a big thing with movies nowadays - the movie has scenes and the point of the plot is just to move you from one scene to another even if it really doesn't make sense how that plot transition works.
For example, I saw Unhinged. Fat Russell Crowe murders a guy in front of 20 people in a resteraunt...IN THE SOUTH...and not only does he not get shot or Bubba-stomped he just casually walks out so we can then go to the next scene.

You've got it reversed, Ace:
WaPo is SLASHiNG its "metro desk," cutting way back (if not eliminating entirely) local coverage.
I have insider information confirming this.
The ttruth is that 95% of the tiny audience that read the Washington Post do so to get news abut national politics. The WaPo readership simply does not care if there was a carjacking in Maryland or a school bpard meeting in Virginia. They want national politics, international headlines. Peoplke turn to the Post to "set the agenda" forn the day's news framing (i.e. the post tells them what to care about). Local news coverage brought in almost nzero readers.

Finally the woman asked "how much do you think it would be worth for you to renew?"

America just embarrassed two of our biggest geopolitical foes in operations that took mere hours, with no repercussions. Russia is a basket case thanks to their "Special" operation (like the olympics, apparently), so they'll be no help. We just started cranking out hardware domestically like it's the 1940's and there's a weirdo with a funny moustache running around again, and we're selling a huge chunk of that output straight on to the Aussies right in their backyard.
There is no world in which it makes sense for West Taiwan to attack Real China right now. It would be a huge, deadly embarrassment. If Xi wants to murder his own top generals for telling him that, he can go right on ahead. It'll just make him easier to beat when he does get floggy.

Any official method of getting rid of Starmer triggers a general election. A general election where Labour loses its 288 seat majority and becomes a rump party again.
They're trying to pressure him, but everything I've seen says that Starmer has no shame and will just coast through every scandal that hits him because he can just pull new nobodies into his cabinet once others leave.

Deadspin at least was really upfront that it was a leftwing hack website for that weird venn diagram crossover of men who like sports but are also handwringing faggots. The Athletic tried to be something between Deadspin and, I guess, Barstool, but they are still so leftwing it's impossible to read.

I miss it too. I ready pretty much every section except the classifieds. It was cool getting local crime updates, and reading letters to the editors and articles about the local university sports, etc. Saying "you have the internet" doesn't magically replace the newspaper because "the internet" doesn't have those particular categories all bundled together in one place for convenience.

In early 2025, Fed Gov stopped funding Wash Po through ad buys and subscriptions through direct and indirect means. Thus, Wash Po has to make money on its subscriber base. After a couple months, it has shown it can't, so it's entering the death spiral.
As for why the sports desk is gone - Washington pro sports suck. No one cheers for them; instead, they follow their original home teams (go Eagles)...thus, it's no loss.

True story from my days working in minor league sports. The reporter that covered us told me that they couldn't do many stories on our players because they were white and they needed stories about minorities and women. So much so that they sent the reporter to cover a HS game with 40 people in attendance over our game with 7,000 people in attendance.

If you follow Mike Benz, he is laying out how Epstein was a money launderer for the CIA and for other Intelligence agencies, from the time of Iran Contra to when he finally got jugged.
The sex trade was either a side gig, or it was "Yacht girls" at various ages that were used in place of the toasters and blenders your savings and loan offers as lagniappes for deposits and new accounts.
A lot of this is laid out in the most recent Joe Rogan Experience that dropped yesterday.

And shit man, anyone can write propaganda. It's like heckling the players on the field - it takes some talent to do it well, but virtually no talent to just do it. And they are just doing it.
It's not even that their preferred audience disagrees anymore, it is that everyone is bored by their schtick.
Meanwhile over at the conservative Washington times, they just posted a $50 million profit. They can make money, basically because there is zero conservative competition.
