    I'm trying really hard to imagine why anyone would do this. All I can come up with is someone won the lottery and wanted to keep busy.

    OOOH. "Possibilities of compensation down the road....."

    Honestly, that might be the most ridiculous listing I've read, ever. I'm surprised they didn't say they were looking for the next "that guy Tom Hanks played in The Post...."

    Even Bootstrap Guy offered some sort of low compensation.

    This post is beyond shameful. Five years experience and pro bono for a "hot" news outlet?

    I have a counter offer. How about you pay me twice what I'm making now, and I do absolutely no work at all. What? I can't share my pipe dream too?

    Qualifications wanted: 5+ years as a senior editor

    So glad I’m out of the industry. Godspeed, y’all who are still in it.
