Will the L.A. Times exist come 2025? (unemployed, Congressmen, Obama)

[skyway31]

Certainly, leftists and leftist politicians hope so! The staff is predominantly progressive, with the rest of the staff being more traditional Democrats. The paper serves as a vital source of leftist propaganda given that some people mistakenly still believe it to be non-partisan journalism. But, there are signs that it will be going the way of other newspapers and may fold up shop in the not-too-distant future. For now, massive layoffs are planned, prompting the first ever walk-off for the paper. Leftist congressional members sent a letter to the owner of the Times expressing concern, and a couple of managing editors resigned today. The major newspaper for the second-largest city folding would be a major development for the city, though perhaps less so now given the shift to political activism in "news".

The Times has become a boring paper. Back when Trump was in the whole paper was their anguash about Trump. It was fun to read then.They even published a book length in several editions of their hatred for Trump and Republicans.
I would never give them one penny so I take a walk daily and fish the paper out of the blue bin, out of my whole neighborhood only one house gets the Times.

The Los Angeles Times losing 40 million dollars a year and will layoff at least 100 employees.

Of course union upset had a walkout before layoffs announced.

But the LA Times lost this battle years ago. This was the last straw not the only one was when they altered a photo of Larry Elder to make it seem he was hitting someone when he did not. They were basically a wing of the Newsom team during the recall election

They spouted leftist talking points for years as do many other big city papers. I guess paywalls and physical paper are too expensive for leftist financially and socially.

Sounds like they should "learn to code"

While it’s sad when anyone gets fired, these folks were at the forefront of shaming those whose employment they determined was less-than, archaic, or not in keeping with the ways of the new world, whatever that means. In other words, if it required manual labor, the media, Democrats, and the coastal elite viewed it as a state of serfdom. Coal miners were a popular target. Whole communities that dot Appalachia were subjected to what some would call a regional genocide under the Obama presidency. His agenda took a hatchet to coal jobs, and most of these towns seldom recovered.

That’s when the “learn to code” smear was tossed into the mix by liberal reporters to coal miners and other workers who lost their livelihoods. The labor was viewed as inferior if it didn’t require a college education. Even worse, reporters mocked these newly unemployed workers, blaming them for being uneducated.

Natural gas is abundant in this part of the country and power plants chose to switch to gas for obvious reasons. Hatchet job? Would you choose a 30 acre lot with men and machines moving coal onto conveyors or one gas line feeding the power plants?
We`re still treating mine acid drainage here from coal mines that were mined out decades ago. Seeing as how I live here, I don`t need to read nonsense from joke sources like Townhall and Breitbart.

The print media has so many mistakes that should make these snobs hang their heads in shame.

You don't need to have a college education to write the most basic sentences, correctly. You do have to quit being a snotty soy rag, actually do some work instead of spending all your time on X, IG, or at whatever hip cafe is in that day, and PROOFREAD that crap you just wrote! AI can take their job just as easily as it can many others. I don't care that they lost their jobs. Learn to code, and learn to spell.

No one has mentioned mismanagement by the owner of the LA Times, Patrick Soon-Shiong, the billionaire medical-doctor with a string of dodgy and questionable "treatments", widely panned in the medical community. Dr. Patrick, as he likes to be called, is a flamboyant businessman. Perhaps this flamboyance is coming around full-circle.

The LA Times may or may not be a rotten newspaper. But let's not forget the adage, that a fish starts rotting from the head, first.

Great to see.

They will survive, saw these claims years ago that the NY Times and Wapo were going broke, they are doing just fine. Never understood why people hope that these great newspapers fail while they get their news from bloggers, Twitter and other 4th rate sources like the Gateway Pundit.
