The Media is Decadent, Depraved, Dying, and in Legal Trouble

A helpful tally of last week's media bloodbath: 

Journalism layoffs in just the past month:

HuffPost: 20
BuzzFeed: 250
Vice: 250

Possibly related, Nick Sandmann, the Covington Boy confronted by Chief-lies-about-his-service, has secured high powered legal council, one Lin Wood. Powerline, who would know, says Mr Wood, Esq is a 'fearsome' libel lawyer.

Mr. Wood is currently sending legal evidentiary preservation letters to dozens of media entities and personalities.

Meanwhile the WaPa shelled out $5.2 mil on a self blowing congratulatory Super Bowl ad at which we shouted 'Fake News!'

The Media is Decadent and Depraved and Dying

Last week the media tried to destroy a teenager for wearing a MAGA hat and smirking.

Also last week Huffpo, Gannet and Buzzfeed laid off a combined 1,000 staffers.

But wait, it gets better:

Johns Hopkins University is acquiring the building that houses the Newseum in Washington, D.C., where it plans to consolidate its presence in the nation’s capital, provide more opportunities for students and better inform policymakers, officials announced Friday...

...The sale will bring about the eventual closure of the Newseum at its current location. Dedicated to increasing public understanding of the role of the free press, the decade-old museum has struggled to stay afloat financially. It will remain open through the end of the year, the Freedom Forum said in a statement.

God, it's glorious.

It's like Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the media.

Mischievous right wingers have been telling these suddenly unemployed hipster-Williamsburg douchebags to learn to code. This was Obama's response to out of work coal miners. To which we have added:

The Boys of Covington

By now you've all heard of the Covington Boys and the hate hoax perpetrated against them.

They were the perfect targets: white, male, hetero, catholic, MAGA.

Those nice young men were set up. They're going after our children now.

The shit's really hit the fan from a media perspective. Good. We hope the Covington families sue the media and this dime store Indian into the stone age, where by the way, Native Americans were until Europeans arrived here. Isn't that right, there, Chief?

We haven't done so of late, but today we'll be walking around in our MAGA hat.

Dissenters are welcome to get in my face if they want, see how that ends up for them.

You're goddamn right we're pissed.
