Well...

Times are tough — and "poisonous" – at The New York Times as another round of buyouts looms for a demoralized and uneasy staff, Vanity Fair reported. In the sixth round of buyouts since 2008 – and the second in almost as many months – the offer will go out primarily to editors. If not enough apply, the Times will turn to layoffs, Vanity Fair reported.

"The mood at the paper is poisonous in a way I've never seen it in the past 15 years," one editor told the outlet. "Every buyout is tense, but there's something

Sounds about right.

Vanity Fair writes an article opening with praise for the Times recent work and then focuses on the internal restructuring that is creating a lot of internal debate on either side, and TD posts the Newsmax version, hiding the link, which leaves out quite a bit of necessary context. Compounded by only clipping part of the Newsmax article.

It's good when bad people do bad things to themselves.

The NYT is a propaganda agency of the democrat party that writes fake news and is going broke.

No one is forcing you to be ignorant except for yourself. Just remember that.

What do you think the article is actually about?

Damn right the atmosphere is poisonous. You have fricking David Brooks writing gems like this, getting paid a million a year.

I guess laying off a ton of people and putting in a pay wall to save your paper as ad revenue declines is just "internal restructuring".

I can't wait to tell my boss.

Bezos picks this up with pocket change.

Didn't Buffett at one time own the Washington Post when it was a good newspaper?

I have no idea if its really true. I googled his salary and that was the highest number that popped up. Regardless, he's not worth any money.
