Layoffs Hit Drive-By Media

First story, CNNMoney: "Media winter continues as layoffs hit Univision." Univision's laid off a lot of people. This is Jorge Ramos... Not him, but I mean his company. The news arrives at a time of mounting economic anxiety in the news business.

"The Wall Street Journal began a significant round of layoffs this month, and has cut entire sections of the newspaper as part of cost-cutting efforts. Employees at the [New York] Daily News were informed last week of a 'voluntary departure program,' as the tabloid reportedly eyes $6 million in budget cuts." And then there's this. Bloomberg TV is canceling With All Due Respect. That's the TV show hosted by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin.

These are guys that follow the campaigns around and write a book about it afterwards, not having released any of the information during the campaign. Oh! I think some people are complaining about that to Megyn Kelly. She's got a new... I think it's Megyn Kelly. She's got a new book out, and I think she's being criticized for withholding a bunch of stuff from for her book rather than reporting it. I mean, the hypocrisy of these people. But look at all the leftist news organizations that are firing people, downsizing people after the elections.

It's like they kept the staffs up to do everything they could to stop Trump, and that didn't work, and so now they're downsizing. "Bloomberg to End With All Due Respect as Company Reorganizes Bloomberg Politics -- Bloomberg's With All Due Respect politics program is coming to an end, and its ambitious Bloomberg Politics team will be rejiggered and woven back into the company's overall Washington coverage, a source confirmed..." We used audio sound bites from this show now and then, so we'll have to find a replacement. But it's not gonna be MSNBC.
