Who knew that lying about Kamala Harris' record as border czar wasn't a winning business model?
Oh, we did.
If the media did their jobs -- instead of being an arm of the Democratic Party -- perhaps they wouldn't be facing massive layoffs industry-wide.
But they aren't doing their jobs, and yet another media outlet laid off more employees.
NEW: Axios is laying off 50 people across the company. CEO @JimVandeHei just sent out this note — which says the layoffs are because of “changes in the media business” pic.twitter.com/lLVemNFh0N

Let us get our tiny violins.
By "changes in the media business", they mean far fewer people are buying their bulls**t.

Yep.
They are going to wait three years and issue a correction on these layoffs.

Hahahahahahahaha!
Traditional news media is dying. That's probably a good thing. Increasingly I'm getting everything from Indy journalists on X and honestly it's better and more accurate information.

And that's the fault of the media.

This is perfect.
The "why it matters" headline is a vicious way to present this.

So vicious, but richly deserved.
I don’t gloat at the misfortune of others, but people have choices in their propaganda peddlers, the market is saturated. https://t.co/XMGGF8hWPz

Nailed it.
This is a s**tty and cowardly thing to do.

I’ve laid people off in tough times. Be a man and look them in the face when you do it. Don’t “oh we’re letting 50 people go and you’ll find out if it’s you soon by email!” F**k off. https://t.co/j99M2CHV2U pic.twitter.com/sQKQpvynKW
But it's on par for Axios.
Remember when this place banned people for saying "Learn to code"? https://t.co/9IqaWZMAwC

We sure do.
Oh well, whoever was the brains behind the “Kamala Harris was never the border czar” retcon at least has a lucrative future in Democrat political consulting. https://t.co/ZC3XZMbuNE

Sadly, this is also accurate.
Man, I hope they took some time to learn the finer points of computer programming languages. https://t.co/4J3ocYZChs

So do we.
Imagine getting fired with a “why it matters” explainer https://t.co/dlJ4RExmRA

It's kinda funny, but it kinda isn't.
Why it matters: you might not have a job anymore. https://t.co/kCzfBt5PZ9

This made us laughed out loud.
Posting this in Axios' standard article format is kinda weird. https://t.co/Ckspbhbnv0
— Noam Blum (@neontaster) August 6, 2024
But ironically funny.
Wonder if laid off Axios people think we're entering a recession now. https://t.co/6h0jRMxLKe pic.twitter.com/twGiuKybcE

Excellent question.
