All The People Who Are Fit To Be Fired - NYT To Cut 500 Jobs
Times Company Announces 500 Job Cuts
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE

The New York Times Company announced yesterday that it would cut its work force by 500 employees, including 45 in The Times's newsroom and 35 in the newsroom of The Boston Globe.

The announcement came on the same day that Knight Ridder said it was cutting 100 editorial employees in Philadelphia: 75 from the newsroom at The Philadelphia Inquirer and 25 from The Philadelphia Daily News.

The announcements by two of the biggest newspaper companies in the country reflect the uncertain outlook for newspapers as some readers and advertisers move to other media.

"The climate change in the newspaper industry is going to take this kind of toll," said Colby Atwood, vice president of Borrell Associates, a media research firm. "I expect to see more of this over the next 10-plus years as the newspaper industry adjusts to its smaller role in news dissemination and advertising."

The Times Company said the 500 job cuts there would begin in October and would take place over the following six to nine months.

the lies the pigmedia are always telling (some dupe brought back from italy to britain...a terrist ferchrissake! this is news?)
while such things as thy govner of kentucky pardoning all those involved in that state's scandal...or algore saying he refused to run in the '04 election because it might cause the '00 election to be re-examined, which would call into question the bush admin. legitimacy....maybe real news would sell papers

In explaining his decision, Gore has offered only one political motivation—but it is a highly significant one. Referring obliquely to the 36-day battle over the Florida vote and the Supreme Court ruling that ultimately handed the presidency to his Republican opponent, Gore told his “60 Minutes” interviewer, “I think a campaign that would be a rematch between myself and President Bush would inevitably involve a focus on the past that would, in some measure, distract from the focus on the future that I think all campaigns have to be about.”

In other words, a second Gore-Bush contest would inevitably raise the overtly anti-democratic manner in which the 2000 election crisis was resolved, and bring into question the legitimacy of the Bush administration. In his desire to avoid such issues, Gore reflects a preoccupation of the entire ruling elite and both political parties.

Shayler, a thorn in the British government’s side ever since he blew the whistle in 1997 about rampant corruption within both arms of British intelligence, MI5 (domestic) and MI6 (foreign), said he has just began looking into the details of the 7/7 attacks, but what’s being released through the press and government reports shows a strikingly similar pattern to what he calls “the same type of misinformation thrown out after 9/11.”

“First, we learn about the training exercises going on here just like 9/11. Next, they release suspicious evidence left behind by the culprits as well as quickly releasing identifying pictures of the suspects just like the did after 9/11,” he said.

Shayler added that what’s even more suspicious is the private security firm in charge of the training drills prior to 7/7 had ties to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Further, he also received information that one of the named suicide bombers, whose picture was released in the London press, has turned up alive and well in Pakistan.

“Just like in the United States, we here in England are being bombarded with what looks like a lot of misinformation in the press,” said Shayler. “Apparently, one of the supposed suicide bombers has turned up alive just like six or seven of the 19 Arab hijackers turned up alive after 9/11.”
