Media Layoffs

It would take someone with a heart of stone not to laugh....and we don't have that heart:

• The axe is falling at WGN-Ch. 9, cutting a wide swath out of “Chicago’s Very Own” TV newsroom.

  Eight veteran reporters and anchors were laid off Monday: Sean Lewis, Ray Cortopassi, Bronagh Tumulty, Judy Wang, Julian Crews, Paul Lisnek, Chris Boden and Dean Richards, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

  [...] The massive downsizing is casting a pall over the newsroom, according to insiders, who say Dallas-based owner Nexstar Media is reducing the station to a shell of its former self.  

That's nothing compared with the "pall" assorted media companies have been casting over Chicago, spouting overly-libtarded bull$hit, anti-law-and-order crap, deliberately slanted "reporting" and opinions that don't resonate with half of their supposed audience.

WGN (and pretty much all Chicago media) embraced that philosophy years ago and this reckoning has been long overdue. 

Fortunately, there are a bunch of coding jobs that have opened up. 

And we heard CPD is hiring - maybe they can demonstrate how much better they can do our job than we did for nearly three decades.
