    Mondays are usually brutal. For many at New York Daily News, it was their last day of work. The paper took an axe to the editorial team, slashing it by 50 percent. NBC News reported that Tronc, the media conglomerate that owns the Daily News, lost nearly $100 million between 2014-2016 (via NBC News):

    The New York Daily News announced on Monday plans to eliminate half of its newsroom as part of a broader effort to refocus the newspaper.

    Daily News staff members were notified of the cuts in an email sent by the company's human resources department. The note also detailed a new direction for the paper, with an increased focus on breaking news, particularly stories about crime, civil justice and public responsibility. The paper will still cover local news and sports, the email said.

    Journalists for the newspaper were called to a 9 a.m. meeting and then told to wait for the email, which notified them of the cuts and the paper's new direction.

    The email also notified employees that editor-in-chief Jim Rich and managing editor Kristen Lee were among those leaving their jobs. Rich tweeted early Monday an ominous warning: "If you hate democracy and think local government should operate unchecked and in the dark, then today is a good day for you."....snip~

    LOL, the Chicago Tribune sold the NY Daily News for a dollar. It was the 9th largest selling newspaper in the US. Leans left. The Trib did assume the Liability and debt. Puts a bunch of leftists out of work. What say ye?

    Their lies aren't working,so they have become as expendable as the rest of the middle class they have betrayed.

    That is another way to look at, huh? Lets hope more of the Leftist rags and their Lame Stream have to do the same.
