Seattle Times will be laying a bunch of people off

I guess the fact they have a shit product never crosses their minds during their work meetings.

The Seattle Times is one of those papers that never takes a strong stand on anything, except the occasional progressive cause, and even with those, they are always chasing the bandwagon. "News" should be facts, but it rarely is. "Opinion" should be thoughtful, eloquent and at least try to be persuasive if the writer believes in their argument. The Times is instead smug, condescending and back-slaps itself pretending it's relevant, when it isn't.
In short, they've done this to themselves by not being true journalists, but instead trying to be cool local celebs by going with the flow, always. This is what a one-paper town becomes, and with no reason to uphold quality, starts circling the drain pretty quick. Bummer for the lost jobs, but they haven't broken an important story in almost a decade. -

Occasionally and just barely, @ThomasFremont. On the Editorial Page, mostly, and that's just because Ryan Blethen has to uphold his Conservative Benefactor Daddy's legacy. They go against bigger government and higher taxes, officially, but then support everything underneath those ideas that result in bigger government and higher taxes. Like preschool for all, and stuff like that. Not the least bit conservative.ThomasFremont said:Um, the Seattle Times is the conservative rag in town.

And (Yes, I edited this) that's part of the problem. They try to walk the middle of the road, because there is no liberal rag, aside from the Stranger, which, in comparison to it's old self in the 80's and 90's, is a POS anymore. But because the Times hates the accusation of being the only paper in town, thereby controlling all the narratives, they soften everything and water it down to appeal to people on both sides of the "middle" of every topic. And it results in a pulp paper that doesn't accomplish much in delivering news or informing public opinion.
Competition raises the level of performance and competence. No such carrot has hung at the Times for years. And here's what we get. -
We have Caple. Who does Woodinville have?

And I should flag all you retards for reading the ST. Even on Richie Incognito mode.
