Times to Announce Section Consolidation

Media Mob has learned that The New York Times will make an announcement later today that it plans to cut the number of sections it has in the paper during some days of the week and it will fold in the Metro Section and Sports section into other sections of the newspaper.

According to newsroom sources, the Metro Section is moving into the A-section and the Sports section will move into the Business section for some portion of the week.

The move is being made to save money on printing. According to one newsroom source, neither metro editor Joe Sexton nor sports editor Tom Jolly was "thrilled with the decision, but they understood."

According to the source, no content will be lost in either section. And though the placement of both Metro and Sports will be affected, the section consolidation will apparently allow for later deadlines for some days, and allow for the possibility of more breaking news in the paper.

GOOD RIDDEN!!! Liberal rag. The media Jihad against Sarah Palin and her family has made clear what hacks they are.

One last thing. Unemployment jumped to a 5 year high of 6.1% in the latest numbers. I'm not surprised. You hacks in the media are being laid off like drunk brain surgeons. Keep it up.

Andy: You clearly have a reading comprehension problem (among other issues). The consolidation is taking away no space and gives the Times later deadlines in some cases. That's good news for the work its journalists do.

You are at least correct that MSM has seen job reductions. But those are dwarfed by the cuts at GM alone.

Lastly, your complaints about the proper vetting that's being done and yet to be completed on the Republicans shows what a small mind you.

On the upside, it's clearly bigger than your ...

Good day, douchie.

Dear Unverified Andy B:

I think you wanted to say "GOOD RIDDANCE." "Good ridden" sounds more like something you would say after a particularly successful adventure on horseback.

I am confused by your sentence "The media Jihad against Sarah Palin and her family has made clear what hacks they are." Who are the hacks you're referring to, the Palins or the media?

Try proofreading. Or even thinking.

What does it mean when the Chinese gold-farming spam makes more sense than the amateur Republican apologists?
