This just in:
Sun Media Corp, the right-wing mouthpiece corporation, has announced they are closing eleven newspapers. The sad news is that 360 jobs will be lost. Newspapers are in trouble, as a general rule, but I have no sympathy for an organization that prides itself on being clueless.
That is no way to build readership.

LOL. What do you really think Mr. Smight? Don't sugarcoat it.
I think... they're precious. I like having them around, shooting-off, simply because they make me feel reasonably intelligent. And that, my friends, is quite the accomplishment!
I love how job and livelihood losses (and often devastating career derailments) are described as cost "savings." I guess this type of de-humanising language should come as no surprise in a country that elected the Harper Reich.
You are correct. "Savings" is a code-word for "increasing shareholder profits". They who never lose. Their cottages await in the Laurentides, unblemished by the unwashed masses.
Thanks for your shrewd comment!
