Time for a medication adjustment, Count. Most people who work for newspapers do so with the intention of exposing crap, or artfully conveying the uplifting, and sometimes getting recognized for it. You're wrong about anti-semitism in the newsroom. Papers like Newsday do more to expose and denounce it than any other outlets.
The real tragedy for people who've devoted careers, risked reputations, or even lives, for these downsizing newspapers is that the Corporation has no ability or desire to value their very human motivations and accomplishments--there's no space for either on the balance sheet. Every stunned reporter or editor out the door is a score only for the bottom line. Newsday's travails are your own, dear reader.
