J. Malcolm Garcia writing for Salon.com today brilliantly describes harsh times in his life after losing a job in local dead tree media: "I was 50, I had lost my job as a reporter in Kansas City, and I barely covered my rent freelancing. I was not married and did not have children."

ReplyDeleteTony, You are a dork. Your headline promotes a story that doesn't exist, at least not in the link provided.
ReplyDeleteTony has done some dickheaded things before, but this really takes the cake. Does your hatred of The Star permeate every cell of your small brain? When do you find time to scrounge for free appetizers?
ReplyDeleteToo many words being said, too few are meaningful. Television replaced reading a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteExtra, Extra watch all about it on MSNBC and CNN!
It's why I bailed out of broadcasting for technology thirty years ago. I didn't have that problem at fifty. Ya think print people have it bad? Radio is almost completely automated now except for morning shows. And much of that is designed to 'sound' live when it isn't.
Jobs gone overseas. IF the Chinese could do news and ship it over here on containers, the media moguls would have shut down all the newspaper offices and TV stations already.
And we bloggers are sittin here in our basements (yeah me too) playing with ourselves.
I think the reason people are vying for these few government elected jobs is because those are the only outrageously well paid jobs left in the Country!
"I was not married and did not have children."
ReplyDeleteTHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HARD TIMES ARE, DUMBASS!
try losing your job and then attempting to feed your children - EVERY day.
