The New York Times death panel took out another 100 hack reporters. They were bought out of their contracts in the latest example of the failing New York Times’ crumbling. Since these 100 hack “reporters” are likely all liberals, maybe CNN will take them.

As the New York Times attempts to update its newsroom for the arena of modern journalism, 100 employees have reportedly agreed to take ‘voluntary’ buyout packages after the conclusion of what one local paper called “death panels.”
Grant Glickson, the president of the employee’s union NewsGuild, told the New York Post that the Times had eliminated the title of copy editor and had offered buyouts to some reporters, photographers, and design staff. However, the Post notes that while the newsroom has been gutted by 100 employees after what it deemed the Times’ “death panels,” it is not clear whether involuntary redundancies will follow.The Post reports that the Times will now create a “new brand of editor to oversee content in digital, print and video formats.”
The redundancies come a month after reporters and editors at the Times’ Manhattan headquarters staged a 20-minute walkout, during which they held signs and chanted: “They say cutbacks, we say fight back.”
