Take The Enchanted Times for example. Always on the side of all things liberal. Well, except when it's their ox being gourd.
The management of The Boston Globe threatened late Sunday to begin the process of shutting down the newspaper in a dispute with its unions over $20 million in cuts.The Globe's owner, The New York Times Co., said it had given the Globe's biggest union a copy of a notice it was prepared to file Monday if it was unable to agree on the concessions by midnight Sunday, a deadline that passed without word from the union or the Times Co. The 60-day shutdown notice is required under federal law.
The newspaper's largest union, the Boston Newspaper Guild, called the move a "bullying" tactic by the Times Co., which last month threatened to close the Globe unless its unions agreed to $20 million in cuts, including half from the Newspaper Guild.
The Guild said late Sunday it had proposed more than the $10 million in cuts sought by the Times Co. to keep the newspaper running. In a statement released two hours before the midnight deadline Sunday, the Guild said its proposal called for "tremendous sacrifices, across virtually all categories of compensation and benefits."
The Guild did not release specifics on what kinds of wage or benefit cuts it had proposed to the Times Co. The union said further details would be made public once all Guild members have had a chance to review them.
Maybe we should have a law where Pinch uses all of his net worth to pay these poor working stiffs.

Ever notice that never is it discussed that the Globe might want to improve the quality of their product so that people will once again be willing to pay for it?
Same with the auto industry.
Your comment is well taken.
Look the advent of new technology is making the newspaper mediums challenging.
However, we're not talking about horse and buggy against the automobile.
The fact that the WSJ's numbers are up has to say something to somebody.
