DFM bloodletting continues

She’s a Patriots fan. It explains a lot.

 

There is a defeatist element in most people who are still in, though. Count me among them. It’s hard to take 10 (or even 3) years of repeated blows and not get a slight victim complex.

I guess I have a tiny amount of sympathy for her, but she needs some thicker skin.

 

Showtime in Denver: an annotated transcript

 

Showtime, indeed ...

REPORTER: Well I feel like you’ve made a decision that you cut it and ensure a certain level of profitability but it’s not good for the employees and it’s not good for product.

JOE FUCHS: Well it’s not good for, unfortunately, the employee that had to go.

VOICE IN ROOM: Or the employees who had to stay! The people who are staying are dying. We’re dying. Doing twice and three times what we used to. We’re working three different jobs, four different jobs to make up for the people who are gone.

REPORTER: People are leaving voluntarily, we don’t feel valued — why should we stay? We’re all dying.

OTHER REPORTER: Why shouldn’t everyone in this room be looking for another job elsewhere right now?

GUY GILMORE: Because you can’t — because you have a better job than probably you can — I mean, as hard as it is right now, you have one of the finest journalism jobs in the country. Yes, there are better places, New York Times, but —

REPORTER: Why is it the finest journalism job in the country?

GUY GILMORE: It’s a great market to be living in, it’s a great paper to be working for, the wage scales are high here.

JOE FUCHS: You’re going to get exposure, you’re gonna get your name in print.

REPORTER: Do you work in the same newsroom as I do?

GUY GILMORE: I’m associated with about 50 newsrooms who would die to work here. Mostly.

REPORTER: Well, we’re dying right now.

JOE FUCHS: No, you’re not dying. You’re frustrated.

 

"You're not dying. You're frustrated."

Deeeeeeeeeep line there.

 

Why local US newspapers are sounding the alarm

 

"Heartland emmys" lol. One thing journalists are masters at: giving themselves contrived awards.
