The New York Times featured another article about the slowing down of the liberal print media. Their featured corpse was The Denver Post, and the headline read: “Denver Post Rebels Against Its Hedge-Fund Ownership.” On the cover of the The Denver Post’s
latest Sunday edition, the headline photo features a crowd of the
Colorado staff, most of whom are hollowed away in silhouettes. The
shadowy gaps are supposed to elicit pity from the readers about the
recent, drastic cuts to the newspaper.
Joining the photo, articles from
the staffers themselves denounced the massive cuts. Instead of pleading
for their jobs, however, the writers were demanding that the paper’s
hedge fund owners either fight to keep the paper alive, or sell the
paper to someone who wants to keep it alive.
It is difficult to read that and not laugh.
