    That letter from Hopkins was brilliant!

    I don't think there's anyone in this business who still thinks we can just go back to the good old days. Everyone has adapted, or at least tried. To insinuate that people are whining and stubborn is incredibly insulting.

    And now to hear that MediaNews has some piss poor web platform, and done everything on the cheap is the most hypocritical BS I've heard in a while.

    You can't put good people in an impossible situation, them blame them for whining about it.

    Cut one of these useless douchebag VP types and you could save enough money to keep all of those newsroom jobs. But what the fuck kind of fantasy world am I living in?

    May Dean Singleton suck donkey balls in hell.

    Laying off a web editor? I thought the Web was the future.

    LA Observed has a post that says a staff meeting has been called at the Long Beach Press Telegram at 11 a.m. today. Looks like no one is safe in LANG today.

    Funny that what we're hearing about are layoffs/cuts at union shops (Long Beach just reorganized, IIRC) owned by Singleton. Sounds like an attempt at union-busting to me.

    Which includes: L.A. Daily News, Torrance (already hit with nine layoffs), Pasadena, San Gabriel, Long Beach, Whittier, Ontario, San Bernardino, Redlands.

    Wow. Just ... wow.
