Newsman Turns Hobo Blogger

Special thanks to so many readers sending this link our way . . . It's a great read for those with a subscription and maybe just a bit of motivation to start charging readers something for the pleasure of our company. More likely, this is a signal that "journalist" isn't really an occupation anymore in much the same way there aren't any elevator operators and very few streetwalkers worth the money in the digital era.

Newspaper's Top Editor Is Now a 'Homeless' Blogger

A 54-year-old journalist lost his job running an Indiana newspaper, as well as the apartment that went with it. He moved to a Motel 6. He was laid off on April 24. A week later he was living in a Motel 6.

  5. If he's living in a Motel 6 then he's not homeless. He's just a renter.

  6. Laid off journalist was preaching Communism and diatribes against middle America values alienating his potential customer base.

    The journalist received his just rewards for being a hater of Christians.

    ^^^ That comment's dumb. He's obviously eating cheap junk food. It's less expensive but bloats and damages you. Underneath the sugar bloat the guy is probably still undernourished.

    Bloat is the new sign of poor people.
